About this episode
With so much talk about socialism and programs like Medicare for all, free college, and paid family leave, it's not hard to see that the left is trying to win people over by offering "free" stuff. But don't be fooled, this all comes at a big price. This week, we explain exactly how much it would cost if the left got exactly what they want. SPOILER ALERT: Simply taxing the rich isn't enough. It's the middle and lower class that will shoulder the burden.
