Best of 2024: Unmaking the Pandemic Welfare State

Death Panel

As this year comes to a close, we’re releasing a Best of 2024 series—by no means objective, and making plenty of tough decisions to leave a few favorites out. Each of these will also be posted in the public feed. We’ll be back early in the new year with new episodes. This episode was originally released on January 18, 2024. Original description: Beatrice, Artie, and Phil discuss how recent claims that Biden has tried to bring about “the largest expansion of the welfare state in a half century” ignore his track record of ending every last pandemic welfare program.
