S1E22 - The One About Infrastructure

A $1 trillion dollar spending bill, on anything, should raise the alarms for anyone with a shred of fiscal awareness. But what about a spending bill on infrastructure is dangerous to liberty?

Welcome to Self-Evident and Forgotten, a podcast on the truths of liberty and odd opinions! Hosted by Stanton, Kristi, and Cody, we explore the beautiful ideas often forgotten today that have given life to a free, peaceful, and prosperous society.

A couple of weeks ago, the United States Senate passed a $1 trillion dollar infrastructure bill, the largest in over a decade. It's the byproduct of bipartisan compromise, with President Biden and Senate Democrats sacrificing grander plans and Republicans acquiescing to some greener projects. But we here at SEF have a critical question: does such a spending plan fit the often-forgotten ideas that made our country spectacular?

Here's a link to the Freakonomics episode on infrastructure. Worth a listen for a detailed look on how progressives and conservatives see the issue differently.

S1E23 - In the News

Cody and Stanton are missing Kristi, so, if you were looking for sunshine, she took it with her.

Welcome to Self-Evident and Forgotten, a podcast on the truths of liberty and odd opinions! Hosted by Stanton, Kristi, and Cody, we explore the beautiful ideas often forgotten today that have given life to a free, peaceful, and prosperous society.

Alas, we're missing our vital chairwoman, because she's as busy as the last few weeks have been. It's been a rather wild time since we last saw each other. The United States fully pulled out of Afghanistan with tragic losses, the 20th anniversary of the September 11th attacks has passed, President Biden has begun to implement firmer vaccination mandates,  it appears the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff had active plans to prevent President Donald Trump from executing his constitutional powers, and Texas is being Texas. Just a normal workday, though, right?
