Hello everybody and thank you for tuning into the Liberty Report.

With us today, we have Daniel McAdams, our co-host.

Daniel, good to see you this morning.

Good to see again, Dr. Paul.

How are you?

Very well.

Very well.

Thank you.

I want to start off with a little economic policy statement and we have some other things to talk about.

But first off, I wanted to read a title coming from

the Wall Street Journal because it's something I've talked about a lot. I think it's very important,

but I don't think it's emphasized enough because a lot of people know prices are going up

and there's special interest benefiting and the routine things.

But the headline caught my attention.

It says, earning more but in worse shape.

Hardship overwhelms many American families.

Well, I don't think it's news to a lot of American families

because they are hurting.

But my point is that the pet peeve I have, why are they doing this?

Most Americans, in spite of our gripes, what the welfare state does, it teaches people to transfer

wealth illegally and people suffer through the inflation and all this.

But they wanted to do this and they have this policy.
