Episode 20: Do Government Unions Care About Black People?
David Bahnsen and Will Swaim discuss California’s healthcare systems and government unions.
David Bahnsen (The Bahnsen Group) and Will Swaim (Cal Policy Center) watch as California’s liberal supermajority wrestle over a single-payer healthcare system—in a state that can’t pay off its current obligations. They also bust the myth that government unions are good for poor people and take a quick look at the symbolism of the latest announcement from state pension regulators. Special bonus: The return of the Stooge of the Week.
Intro music provided by Metalachi, the LA-based mariachi/metal band.
