Today, former senator Phil Gramm began as a professor of economics at Texas A&M, then became a representative in the house, later becoming a senator. And now, he’s written a book with John Early and Robert Ekelund called The Myth of American Inequality: How Government Biases Policy Debate. We talk today about his book and observations of the system during his time in office, identifying problems with the way the census and other measuring tools bias the data and conversations that follow.

    Very good podcast.  I remember when Phil Gramm was running for the Republican nomination for president.  I saw him speak in Fargo, ND.  I already liked him but it really increased my admiration that he would come to ag country and explain why he was opposed to farm subsidies.
