Tell Spencer your thoughts about this episode!
You may have heard that there's an election going on in the U.S. A big one in fact. This episode is a debate about the records of one of the candidates, Joe Biden. Matt Lutz, noted error theorist and Biden enthusiast, returns to the podcast to argue that Americans are insufficiently appreciative of Biden's performance on the economy and foreign policy. Spencer provides pushback on Biden's various student loan repayment schemes and immigration.
Errata: The student loan repayment plan that Biden unveiled on July 18, 2024, was an expansion of an already existing program, the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, and not an entirely new program. The costs of this expansion are estimated to be a mere 1.2 billion.
