American Consequences - October 2017

This month, we look at government... a debt "jubilee"... what happens after the feds break down your door... "return-free risk"... whether character matters in politics... the potential savior of the Democrat party (or just a "smooth operator")... the scariest three words in America... waste in NFL stadiums... on the ground with the "antifa"... fixing history with a wrecking ball... and a conversation with a former Fed analyst.
