Show Notes

In this episode, Mark Hall and Dr. Walter Kemmsies discuss the 2024 Election.

Excerpts: Let's take a look at the Biden and we'll take a look at what it's likely to happen under Trump. Under Biden, we passed the IJA that was the Infrastructure Investment for Jobs Act, and then we passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which did the opposite.

So 60% of all that boom in construction, spending, construction and manufacturing was for EV and EV related stuff. Some of it's good, some of it was too much, and then the rest should have been for medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, other things. When the proverbial crap hits the fan. You can, use the Defense Procurement Act and tell American companies to make these things that we need because of a national emergency.
