Dowd and Paul discuss New Mexico's $1.2 billion surplus and
what should be done with the largess. That shifts into a
conversation about the Cato Institute's Freedom In the 50 States
report which gave New Mexico high marks on personal freedom, but
found the State sorely lacking in fiscal restraint and the size of
its government bureaucracy.
Dowd shared some "exciting" information about recent activity
at the New Mexico Spaceport and both of them addressed the recent
infusion of federal dollars for several wasteful New Mexico transit
projects. Finally, the Trump Administration has announced that
NAFTA has been "renegotiated." What does that mean? Lastly, Dowd
highlights some Bureaucrats Behaving Badly.
