Hello Friends!

On today’s Let People Prosper episode 86, I’m joined by the Center for Freedom and Prosperity’s President Dr. Dan Mitchell. Check out his blog International Liberty for more insights.

Watch the full episode below (shorts under paywall):

• What's driving the national debt and how do we get control of the rapid increase?

• Which states are budgeting well, and how can we get strong spending limits at the federal, state, and local levels?
