Free The Economy

Total Boomer Luxury Communism with Russ Greene

Competitive Enterprise Institute Episode 157

This week we talk about Trump’s 10% credit card interest proposal (and the dangers of populist economics in general), a new report on debanking from Cato Institute analyst (and previous Free the Economy guest) Nick Anthony, and, via previous guest Joey Politano, analysis of the blue-collar jobs that America is losing. Our guest this week is Russ Greene of the Prime Mover Institute. We talk about social security, taxes, retired workers, intergenerational equity, and what Russ has inspired the rest of us to start calling Total Boomer Luxury Communism.
