About this episode
In today's episode, I'm sharing my latest article, "Regaining the American Dream for Zoomers: What the Government Can Do." I argue that the classic American Dream—of hard work leading to independence, family, and community—is slipping away from Generation Z amid skyrocketing debt, collapsing marriage and birth rates, and cultural decay. While prayer and personal virtue are essential, I lay out bold government steps we can take right now: incentivizing traditional marriage and family formation, ending predatory high-interest lending, and creating mandatory civil service programs to build skills, discipline, and confidence in young people without burying them in college debt. This isn't just policy—it's about saving our civilization and restoring real opportunity for Zoomers, Alphas, and beyond.
