In The Tank, ep 314: The Biden Administration’s Economic Illiteracy

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and Cameron Sholty present episode #314 of the In The Tank Podcast. Joe Biden and White House Spokesperson Jen Psaki have been saying some really stupid things in regards to the $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill. The ITT crew talks about that and the plan to raise the debt ceiling once again. Lastly, they talk about Greta Thunberg’s “blah, blah, blah” speech about climate change.
