Principles and Policies Podcast for 12/8/2012- Monopolies, Fiscal Cliffs, And Bribes

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday December 8, 2012. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis take a deeper look at governmental shenanigans involving Ohio state government created monopolies in the coin and metal business. We discover some very odd things and wonder what will happen now that the State of Ohio has been discovered with its hand in the cookie jar.

We also take a look at US House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner and his demotion of prominent conservative Congressman from key committees and his open threats to “practice discipline” against anyone who tries to hold the line on taxes and spending. Still think Boehner’s a conservative?

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Friday December 7, 2012. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis analyze a recent federal court decision in favor of metal dealers (filed by our friend Mike Tomaso) regarding coin and metal dealers and how they’ve been singled out for regulation in favor of pawn shops who have been specifically exempted from the same regulation.
