  • サマリー

    • In this week's podcast, our quote of the week is from JFK, who died in 1963, on why tax RATE cuts are good for the economy and generally translate to INCREASED TAX REVENUES.
    • A lot of this week's topics will focus on how badly California and Los Angeles have mismanaged their fire response resources, starting with our "Stupidest thing I've heard all week segment" where the California Department of Transportation delayed the arrival of 60 fire trucks from Oregon to the LA fire zone by requiring them to first detour to Sacramento for a safety inspection before they could continue to LA.
    • In our runner-up winner in the Stupidest Thing I've Heard All Week contest, we'll tell you how much the LA Fire District spent on an EV fire truck with no hoses or ladders because it can't carry any water.
    • In 2014, the voters of California approved a $7.5 Billion bond issue to build dams to capture rainwater and snow melt from the Sierra-Nevada mountains running into the Pacific Ocean. Now, 10 years later, we'll tell you how many new dams have been built. Hint: You would be wrong if you guessed a whole number greater than zero.
    • We'll provide you with some data on the short-term and long-term costs and reduction in tax revenues the City and County of Los Angeles will face in the months and years to come.
    • With our National debt increasing by about $2 trillion annually, we'll give you some examples of wasteful & unnecessary projects your tax dollars in 2024.
    • We'll warn you about a very sophisticated,& personalized computer "Phishing" scam that has tricked thousands of people and cost victims tens of millions.
    • Our (abbreviated) Taxpayer relief shot comes to us from St. Paul, Minnesota, where four armed teenagers make the mistake of trying to rob a man in a park who was also armed.
