Tom Mullen Talks Freedom Episode 24 Alexander Hamilton's Curse Enters Its 233rd Year with Thomas Dilorenzo

Summary:
Democratic Senator Joe Manchin has killed President Biden’s mega-boondoggle “infrastructure” bill for now. But bad ideas never seem to stay dead in Washington, D.C. Economist and author Thomas Dilorenzo joins Tom to discuss the founding father of big government, bridges to nowhere, and inflation, and how his political heirs seized infrastructure and the currency from the private sector.
