Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Should Public Money for Schools Guarantee More Than Learning?
Q: Does public money for schools demand more than academics?
Yes, it demands obligations of legitimacy, safety, health, and visibility for the children.
A Conversation with Deceased Nobel Laureate Economist Dr. Milton Friedman
Q: But of course, the job market doesn't do that, and sometimes these Americans end up with misaligned job skills and low wages. Don't low wages indicate a failure in the market?
Low wages can indeed indicate a mismatch between the skills workers have and those that are in demand. However, I wouldn't necessarily call it a market failure.
Reward Work, Build Opportunity
Q: If Americans have a mandate and decide to act, what simple message could unite the nation and drive change?
A new economics, where we reward work and build opportunity, serves as a unifying message for change.
Reward Work, Build Opportunity
Q: Do Americans have a mandate to address inequality?
Yes, Americans and their elected representatives have a constitutional and legal mandate to address inequality, as failure to minimize taxpayer-funded social programs benefits only special business interests.
Should We Dramatically Cut the Size of Government?
Q: Should we dramatically cut the size of government?
The wrong question to ask, as it overlooks the need to strengthen the economic footing of every American and reduce debt burdens on future generations.
