Welfare and Work with Kevin Corinth

This week we cover new inflation data, public attitudes about Social Security, and California’s self-inflicted energy crisis. Our interview this week is with Kevin Corinth, Senior Fellow and Deputy Director of the Center on Opportunity and Social Mobility at the American Enterprise Institute. We’ll talk about social welfare spending, early childhood development, economic mobility, the Earned Income Tax Credit, benefits fraud, and proposals for a universal basic income.
