Episode 60: Can we finally let a few crises just go to waste?

Michael Schaus

Free to Offend Episode 60 | Guest: Wayne Crews, Competitive Enterprise Institute

Politicians seemingly live by the motto “never let a crisis go to waste.”

From Coronavirus to the financial crisis of 2008 to 9/11, one crisis after another has resulted in an explosion of the regulatory state, mountains of government debt and political predation from electeds eager to implement their pet projects.

Wayne Crews, vice president for policy and senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, joined the program to discuss how we can temper this trend — a topic he covers in detail in his latest report: The Case for Letting Crises Go to Waste.
