What does it take to completely tank a country’s economy? Less than you might think. Here are 5 simple steps that have destroyed nations/economies throughout history… Tell us what you think.

With all the fervor that has been experienced over the last month concerning the “Debt Crisis” back in Washington D.C. it seemed only right to take a minute and get in front of the camera with Thomas to discuss the crazy stuff going on in washington how it may affect you and I. So watch and enjoy!

Do you know how many bureaus, departments, boards, and agencies there are in the Federal Government? It will blow your mind to discover just how many exist on your dime! As you go to work every day, working hard to support your family, do you realize your labor is helping to fund things like the Japan-United States Friendship Commission, Migratory Bird Conservation Commission, and the Indian Arts and Crafts Board? Yeah, we knew you’d be excited about it too. We also examine a report card of Obama’s first 2 years in office. Here’s a hint: everything is moving in the wrong direction. We also discussed the Utah Compact and learn that not all Mormons in Utah see eye-to-eye with each other or the church leadership on the topic of Illegal Immigration. We finish up our lively discussion by learning about Congressman Davey Crockett’s (yes that one) hard-learned lesson about using government as a means to “do good” in society with tax payer money. Let’s just say, he learned and didn’t repeat his mistake, unlike our politicians today! This was a fun Friday broadcast you won’t want to miss!

Listen in as we visit with our Special Guest for this Call for Freedom, Connor Boyack, He is a web developer by day and political economist by night, and on lunch breaks, and pretty much whenever his iPhone beeps at him.

He’s best known for his blog “Connor’s Conundrums” where he regularly writes about politics, philosophy, religion, and other hot topics your high school teacher wouldn’t dare discuss. Connor and his family currently live in a place that some people refer to as Happy Valley.

Bachelors in Information Technology from BYU, currently (sort of) pursuing a masters in Political Economy from George Wythe University

Listen in while we discuss how due to the recent horrific events in Haiti President Obama has committed $100 million in monetary aid by US tax payers. He has also expressed our country’s intention to help rebuild the nation over the long term. Historically, America has given trillions of dollars to foreign nations in the form of “aid” through the UN and other avenues, at the expense of the US tax payer. On this Call For Freedom we will analyze this pattern of aiding foreign nations via the government to determine if this is a legitimate use of governmental force.

Listen to our Call for Freedom from November 17th 2009, where we discuss that many people praise the Federal Government for its role in granting millions of Americans the opportunity to seek learning at institutions of higher education. Join us as we pull back the curtain and show how these seemingly gallant practices are undermining the viability of our bastions of learning, both economically and socially. And how government interaction in education is actually hurting the students its supposed to be helping.

Join us for a lively discussion and prepare to re-examine potentially some of your own deeply held beliefs about education and how it relates to the proper role of government.
