Summary
So many government policies, initiatives, concepts, and ideas sound great. And yet, they don't seem to produce the intended results. Why? Well, politicians would have you believe that it's some nefarious force standing in the way of all of their good & great intentions! Today, we are going to go through the best sounding policies that don't work, and you may be surprised by some of them because they can be pretty popular.

| 0:00.0 | All right, welcome back to making the argument. Today, we're going to be going over the top |
| 0:05.3 | policies, which sound really good, but never seem to work as advertised. And what I mean by |
| 0:11.8 | that is there are any number of times where politicians, government officials, whatever it is, |
| 0:17.8 | get up there, and they push a particular idea. And their marketing is glorious. I mean, it's great. They've got everyone convinced that this is going to |
| 0:25.8 | solve all your problems. This is going to eradicate whatever issue is troubling you or holding |
| 0:29.6 | you back or is keeping you from everything that you want. And then when it gets implemented, |
| 0:33.3 | lo and behold, doesn't quite seem to pan out. So we're going to go over some of these today, |
| 0:39.1 | and I'm going to tell you right now, some of the issues that we're going to talk about and |
| 0:41.7 | explain why they don't work are actually pretty popular. But if you hang around, I promise you, |
| 0:47.6 | we're going to give you some really good reasons, as well as maybe some alternatives to achieve |
| 0:52.3 | similar things without giving politicians way more power |
| 0:55.7 | than they need or deserve. All of that and more coming up in this episode of Making the Argument |
| 1:00.5 | brought to you by Good Ranchers. If you're watching on YouTube, you might see that we have a new |
| 1:04.6 | camera angle because some of you have asked, then you get a studio shot. So here it is. You can kind of |
| 1:09.2 | see where we're at and see where everybody's sitting. But anyway, if you haven't already, go down to the link in the description, |
| 1:14.7 | go to our community chat, sign up there for us and get to know everybody in our community. We're |
| 1:19.4 | approaching 1,500 members, which is pretty freaking awesome. We're pretty happy to see that. And I'm |
| 1:24.8 | sure we're going to be covering some of the topics that folks have given us in the episode ideas channel as well in this episode. |
| 1:31.2 | So let's get right into it. |
| 1:32.3 | All right. |
| 1:32.6 | As always, I'm your host, Nick Freitas. |
| 1:34.3 | And for the purposes of this podcast, I will mention that I do have a little bit of experience in the horrible, horrible, disgusting world of politics and government policy. |
