0:00.0	Well, hello there. Have you ever noticed that whenever the topic of economics comes up,
0:04.8	especially when it's talking about things like government spending, government programs,
0:09.0	welfare, social security, nationalized health care, et cetera, et cetera, we commonly get told,
0:14.5	especially when we bring out that the fiscal problems with the way that they're going about
0:18.1	implementing these programs or whether or not they're actually going to be able to achieve their in-states. We are almost repeatedly told that,
0:23.8	well, this isn't about money. This is about people. And so there's this implication that if you're

1:12.4	this from a unique perspective today brought to us by Robert, a member of our community chat.
1:17.3	All of that and more coming up on this episode of making the argument powered by good ranchers.
1:21.6	Thank you so much for helping us choose this episode. Robert, if you would like to play a role
1:24.7	in driving the direction of next week's episode or episodes that we have going forward, you can do so by joining our community chat, my beautiful bride, Queen of the Bees returned from getting the milk.
1:47.3	Hello, everyone.
1:48.5	And then, of course, we have our political prognosticator and resident historian, Christian Heinz.
1:52.8	I just wanted to point out, Roger.
