And I can't take credit for this.

Vance Ginn, um, is an economist out of Texas, and I listen to his podcast religiously.

Repub- uh, like libertarians, you guys would love this guy.

Um, it's called Let People Prosper.

And so, um, Vance Ginn was talking about this on his podcast recently.

He said this, the prices are a signal, so you don't wanna address the costs, the prices there.

Like you don't-- It's not about, like, reducing the gas tax or whatever these, like, short-term things that they're trying to do to address the cost.

Welcome back to the Let People Prosper show.

My name is Dr. Vance Ginn.

I hope you're having a prosperous day.

Well, today I'm glad to welcome back John Tillman.

Thank you so much for tuning into my show, William Wallace for America.

Today's episode is gonna be with a returning guest, but as you know, when I bring a guest back on, it's because they have a lot of really good information, and today's episode is gonna be no different with the economist Vance Ginn, who's gonna talk about a lot of hot topics that are going on right now, and even some ones that are kinda been forgotten.

But we're also gonna touch base on a show I did a while back, capitalism versus the free market system.

This is a true economist that's gonna be able to help us unpack some of that.

...

TikTok or anything?

Yeah, I'm on those as well, uh, Vance Ginn or Let People Prosper.

Um, and, and, and also don't forget my newsletter, the Substack newsletter, vanceginne.substack.com, where you can g- you can get a subscription.

Welcome back to this week's Economy.

I'm your host, Dr. Vance Ginn.

Thank you for joining me again today.

Always a pleasure to have you here.

Welcome back to the Left Heal Prosper Show.

My name is Dr. Vance Ginn.

I hope you're having a prosperous day.

Well, today, I'm glad to welcome Akash Chougule, president of the Foundation for Research on E- Equal Opportunity, also known as FreeOp.

Should government try to control the outcome, or should we address the incentives and scarcity that created the problem? Hello, friends, and welcome back to the Left Heal Prosper Show.

I'm your host, Dr. Vance Ginn.

Thank you for joining me again today.

I'm always glad you're here.

And even before we consider specific regulations on players like hospitals and insurance companies, the federal government plays an increasingly dominant role in healthcare in general just through its fiscal measures, with nearly half of all national health spending flowing through federal programs or tax preferences as of twenty twenty-five.

Now, if we want to emphasize things like price transparency and patient choice for healthcare reform, like our episode one hundred and forty-one guest, Vance Ginn, has suggested, a lot of that structure is probably going to need to change.

You can read that full analysis, "The Spiraling Cost of Federal Healthcare Subsidies and Carve-Outs" at taxfoundation.org. We talk about the cost and bureaucratic burden of government regulation.

We usually focus on the federal level, as my colleague Wayne Crews from episodes three and one hundred and twenty often does.

But below the national level, every state and territory also has its own code of regulations.

The challenge of how to clean up the cost and complexity of those rules doesn't get nearly enough attention.

My former colleague and our guest for episode ninety-three, James Brule, has had a lot to say about that with a series of case studies in twenty twenty-four and twenty twenty-five covering states from Michigan and Hawaii to Minnesota and Arizona.

He's continued with that focus at the American First Policy Institute with research like the study, "Environmental Permitting Reform in the States: A Review of Best Practices." More recently, we've seen a new issue brief from the Manhattan Institute's Alex Adams and Adam Jones on the success that policymakers in Idaho have scored on this front in recent years.

Another big interview coming your way next hour.

Vance Ginn, he is an economist, former chief economist for the Trump White House the first time around.

We're going to talk about your economy, your pocketbook, your bank account, interest rates and more.

That's next hour.
