Dead Pundits Society

Joining me this week is Matt Bruenig, who writes on the politics and policy of welfare programs. I talk with Matt about his newly launched, crowd-funded, left-wing thinktank, as well as what kind of policies we need to shore up our welfare state in order to help folks who need it the most. We discuss the racial wealth gap, reparations vs. universal social programs, Universal Basic Income, child poverty alleviation, and the overhaul necessary to reboot our welfare state for the 21st century. Tune in and learn about Matt's thinktank and how you can support this important project. ------------------------------------ As always, you can follow the Dead Pundits Society on twitter @DeadPundits Subscribe on Soundcloud and/or iTunes.
