S15 EP146: Hour 3 - Our Spending Problem
Summary
Eric Erickson discusses the benefits and privacy concerns of Flock cameras, arguing for a middle ground that retains the technology while penalizing police abuse. He critiques Democratic Socialists' push for single-payer healthcare, citing negative experiences under Obamacare. Erickson then addresses the national debt, rising bond yields, and inflation, warning that "buy now, pay later" loans for essentials signal financial distress. He concludes by condemning California’s new tire regulations as bureaucratic overreach.
