Transcribe →FDR to Obama: How Dumb Government Actions Made the Great Depression and Recession Worse
Apr 2100:07:24Tap to summarizeWhen there’s a problem, politicians always have “solutions.” History shows those “solutions” often make things worse. _ _ _ _ _ _ To make sure you receive weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe-form_ _ _ _ _ _ We’re told FDR and his New Deal saved America from the Great Depression. Economist Donald J. Boudreaux, author of “The Triumph of Economic Freedom,” says that’s a myth: “He created government programs all right, but they did not pull us out of the Depression.” When farmers complained about low prices, government paid farmers to destroy their crops. “People can't eat prices. They have to eat food!” says Boudreaux. 70 years later, during the Great Recession, politicians again blamed free markets and pushed more government “solutions.” Boudreaux says that’s why both downturns lasted so long....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0URAJzjy6sU

Transcribe →The “Nanny” State: How Government Regulations Jack Up the Price of Daycare
Apr 1400:06:10Tap to summarizeDay care costs are rising, and government promises they’ll fix it!But when government “fixes" something, that means more rules._ _ _ _ _ _To make sure you receive weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe-form_ _ _ _ _ “Government rules have unintended consequences,” says Carrie Lukas of the Independent Women’s Forum. Consequences like fewer day care centers and higher prices.Government rules also make lower-cost options like in-home day care centers hard to start, even though parents want them."They are layering on regulations that make it impossible," explains Lukas.Oklahoma’s day care rules are 180 pages. Illinois gives conflicting commands: require a blanket for each infant, but then, they also prohibit use of “soft bedding."Why would you open a place if you have to understand all of that, let alone obey it? I wouldn’t.“Every time you have to figure out another rule to comply with, it’s another reason not to do it,” says Lukas. In the video above, I look at how bureaucrats’ well-intended rules make day care centers hard to start and afford....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-179wCFgkX8

Transcribe →The Truth About Taxing the Rich: Deficits, Migration, Fewer Jobs
Apr 700:06:33Tap to summarize"Tax the rich!" is popular. But don't politicians realize, in America, people can MOVE?_ _ _ _ _ _ To make sure you receive weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe-form_ _ _ _ _ _ Washington state just passed a "millionaires' tax." Starbucks billionaire Howard Schultz already announced his move to Florida. You'd think politicians would learn, but no. California politicians now want an extra 5% tax on billionaires' wealth. “The benefit,” say activists, “is going to outweigh a couple people moving out of the state.” But California has already lost billions in taxes because so many people (and companies) left. If they pass their new tax, they'll lose more. “When people are not well treated, they’re gonna’ go elsewhere” argues Steve Forbes. I push back: "You're just a rich guy who wants to protect his stuff." "I may have done well in life," says Forbes, "But what I want is a world in which … ALL people have a chance to improve their lot in life." The video above explains why taxing the rich makes life harder for everyone, even the poor....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_U6_8Cm4_g
