8-14-26 - 10 am - Colorado Job Loss and Medicare For All

In this episode, the speaker takes aim at the state of Colorado's economic woes, specifically the jobs losses and the state's reliance on fees and mandates. The conversation delves into the world of economics and politics, where the speaker argues that the state's progressive socialist government is driving businesses away with its policies.

The speaker discusses the concept of the "mandate stack," where businesses are burdened with a multitude of regulations and fees, making it difficult for them to operate. This, combined with the state's reliance on fees, has led to a significant decline in jobs, from 17,000 to 6,000. The speaker also touches on the idea that the state's government is not doing enough to address these issues, and that the Republican Party is not doing enough to take action.

The speaker also critiques a study from Yale University that claims a single-payer healthcare system would save the US $1 trillion dollars a year and save 114,000 lives. However, the speaker argues that this study is based on flawed assumptions and hopes, rather than actual data. The speaker breaks down the study's claims, pointing out that the numbers are based on a study from Taiwan and a report that argues the opposite of what the Yale study claims.

The conversation is a thought-provoking exploration of the state of Colorado's economy and the impact of government policies on businesses and citizens.
