Summary

We will never live a prosperous and affordable life unless we end inflationary debt, and we will not end inflationary debt until we deal with the welfare and health care programs. Today I’m joined by Cindy Byrd, the Oklahoma state auditor who is running for lieutenant governor on a platform of ending fraud that is driving inflation in federal programs administered by the states. She exposed the fraud before Nick Shirley exposed the Somali day-care scandal. Byrd is calling for access to all eligibility criteria and for Republicans to have the guts to actually verify and remove those not eligible for these programs. We also discuss a vision for red states on proper land use, economic development that works for the people, cutting education fraud to lower property taxes, and a vision on health care that we desperately need.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We just crossed 39 trillion in debt.

That's $2.8 trillion just in 14 months since Trump's inauguration.

0:56.1

I'm sorry, that's the fact.

0:58.7

Okay, if you have an affordability crisis and you print another $2.8 trillion in 14 months,

it's going to get worse, not better.

And indeed, today's PPI numbers wholesale inflation, it was up for the fourth month in a row, 3.4% year over year jump.

1:17.7

But it's really a lot worse than that, 3.9% core.
