Stimulus: Inflation and Taxation

August 11, 2020

President Trump and the Congress are deadlocked over another stimulus bill. People are worried about how they will pay their bills today and pay off the national debt in the future.

Art Thompson takes us through all these topics to understand how we got to where we are today in Activate America.
