I love this podcast. So much more interesting and entertaining than any Remnant podcast…and infinitely more intellectual. It’s a joy to hear intelligent people who know how to speak well making actual arguments.
The carrot for federal road money was seat belt laws (I have read, don’t know for sure), and Obamacare Medicaid expansion by the states another example of bribing entities to do your bidding.
