In this week’s episode we talk about our 150th episode anniversary party, the documentary Dear Mr. President: The Letters of Julia Sand, the new $140,000-a-year poverty level, Ed Tarnowski’s description of billionaire envy, and socialist deregulation of small businesses in New York City. Our guest this week is Kurt Couchman, senior fellow in fiscal policy at Americans with Prosperity and author of the new book Fiscal Democracy in America: How a Balanced Budget Amendment Can Restore Sound Governance. We’ll talk about federal spending, the national debt and how it’s dragging down our economy, and why we need to add a balanced budget amendment to the US Constitution.
