Hoover Institution economist @joshrauh joins Uncommon Knowledge with @p_m_robinson to examine America's mounting federal debt and the political obstacles to controlling government spending.
Rauh discusses why higher taxes and faster economic growth alone cannot close the budget interest costs could lead to an inflationary crisis, and argues for slowing the growth of entitlement spending.
The conversation also covers President Trump's tariff policies; California's proposed billionaire tax and why it has the potential to drive taxpayers out of the state; and the lessons offered by states such as Texas and Florida.

I've watched the whole thing now, and I'm ready to say this is the favorite of any interview I've ever done in 40+ years of doing interviews, edging out my second-favorite, which was the interview I did with Peter Robinson about Coming Apart. He has an incredible gift for enabling people to say what they mean more clearly than they thought they could do on camera.

For most of his life, @charlesmurray was a casual agnostic who assumed smart people had left religion behind. Now he's not so sure. Murray joins @p_m_robinson on Uncommon Knowledge to discuss the evidence that forced him to reconsider God, the soul, and Christianity—from and the mysterious Shroud of Turin to the historical reliability of the Gospels and the Resurrection.
