The Federal Government’s Response to COVID-19 – Failure

by

With the death toll of Americans rising past the number of our soldiers who died in the Vietnam War, the Coronavirus crisis has laid bare a federal government bureaucracy and healthcare system that has proven itself incapable of rising to the challenge of handling a national pandemic.

In our latest podcast, Jacob Hornberger, president of The Future of Freedom Foundation, delivers a blistering attack on the top-down, command and control apparatus at play now and he explains why the free market is the only way out of this mess.

Listen to our 3-minute podcast to hear Hornberger’s no-nonsense libertarian viewpoint.
