Why the American political system is the “ultimate self-licking ice cream cone”

S1:E57 | 1st June 2022

Terry discusses flaws in the American political system; how the Democrats don’t have policies that focus on geopolitical realities and are too willing to grow our deficit, but also why the other side is worse. How the Republicans have let go of basic decency and ethics just to hang on to power.

A poignant and heartfelt commentary on the state of affairs, listen to this episode if you need a shot of common sense and humanity in this crazy world.
