Econ 101 & The Stubborn Birdie (Hour 1)

April 23, 2025

Guest: Rick Reid

It seems nothing brings Assembly Speaker Robin Vos more joy than standing in the way of helping working families (no really, he's happy to do it). Next, we hear all the time how The Felon President and his cohorts love kids and want to protect kids and want to nurture the kids, which is great, but why would you cut very important programs which would do all of that? Then, welcome to the show Rick Reid, an economics professor at Fox Valley Technical College and Lakeland College. Professor Reid joins us to give Jane, Greg and the listeners a good intro into the economy, the bond market and what inflation numbers really tell us.
