Ep. 18: The Democratic Debates with Lisa's Husband

In this episode we covered the Miami Democratic Debates from 2019. While most of the candidates aren't relevant anymore, the topics that Lisa's husband delves into are still very relevant: healthcare; do Amazon and other large corporations pay taxes; what a forced minimum wage does to prices and small businesses; refinancing student debt; and what it's actually going to take for our country to adopt green technology.
