In The Tank

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo are joined by the Center of the American Experiment's Isaac Orr for episode 401 of the In The Tank Podcast. After making waves years ago with the outrageous and outlandish Green New Deal proposal, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is resurrecting the legislation. What is the significance of this move? Will the Green New Deal have stronger legs this time around? Is this just a last-gasp attempt at driving this agenda down the throats of Americans? The ITT crew will discuss these questions and more.
