To hear that conversation, that's really enlightening, click here. 

Boosting the Economy with Velocity

A returning guest is Dr. Chris Draper the managing partner for Troket and the author of Velocity Economics - The Real American Economy. For decades the United States has followed the notion that if you give wealthy people more money they, in turn, will create good paying jobs. For those of you who remember it was called "Trickle Down Economics". Recently President Biden signed into law the American Rescue Plan that gets substantial dollars into the hands of consumers. That, says Dr. Draper, is exactly what is needed to springboard our economy. Here is our conversation.
