368. Warning Recession Incoming

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 368 of the In The Tank Podcast. It appears as the though the consensus is in - we are heading for a recession. However, according to President Biden, we are only likely to get a "slight recession." The ITT crew talks about the potential severity of the coming recession. Also, the most recent census over counted in a bunch of blue states, potentially skewing the political landscape in favor of the Democrats.
