Joining host, Dennis McCuistion are:

• Mike George: Founder of Strong America Now and developer of the Lean Six Sigma Process; a technique for determining and eliminating waste, and
• David Walker: Former Comptroller General of the United States and CEO of the Government Accountability Office from 1998 to 2008. He is the author of Comeback America: Turning the Country Around and Restoring Fiscal Responsibility.

The discussion focuses on the sustainability challenges which threaten the US economic future. According to both guests, the survival of the Republic is at stake and in some cases we don’t even understand what the problem is.  Waste in government is at an all time high, with the Department of Defense being one of the government’s biggest wasters of resources.

The conversation differentiates between corruption and waste, spending increases between 2009 and 2010, and how much higher spending still is compared to receivables.  The challenges and solutions may surprise you.

Tune in to discover what needs to be done to reclaim our children and grandchildren’s future, and where, as always, we continue discussing things that matter with people who care…

Thanks once again for joining us…

Joining Host Dennis McCuistion are:

• Thomas E. Woods JR., PhD, Senior Fellow of Ludwig von Mises Institute and author of Meltdown
• Doug Casey, Investor in The Casey Report

Doug Casey is not a fan of government as it is as he believes it coerces opinions. He feels entrepreneurs would be the better solution to many issues.

Dennis asks: Isn’t this anarchy?

In response, we find that Doug Casey believes that government’s role in a civil society is to protect us from force, inside and outside the bailiwick… and to adjudicate in a fair court system. He asserts that Government is a busy body and power monger and it does not serve a useful purpose

Thomas Woods believes that we need to return to the foundation of the US Constitution and 10th amendment. He believes that too many Think Tanks are chasing a unicorn with their asking for funding to curb spending, etc. and nothing happens. He says of Government that it has a monopoly to tax and that moral principles are abandoned when it comes to government. Government fails on absolute standards of society.
