Faithful Politics "Bridging Policy and Compassion" w/American Enterprise Institute President, Robert Doar
In this episode of Faithful Politics, hosts Will Wright and Pastor Josh Bertram engage in a profound discussion with Robert Doar, the esteemed 12th President of the American Enterprise Institute. Mr. Doar's illustrious career in the public sector, serving under Governor Pataki and Mayor Bloomberg, forms the backdrop for an in-depth exploration of federal and state anti-poverty policies and safety net programs.
The conversation commences with a reflection on Mr. Doar's professional journey and his philosophy on the dignity of work. He articulates the importance of employment-oriented policies and the success he witnessed in his role as social services commissioner in New York City.
The dialogue then transitions into a critical examination of various government assistance programs. The hosts and guest debate the merits and challenges of bipartisan programs such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and health insurance for working low-income individuals. They consider the role of work requirements and the government's responsibility in fostering genuine aid.
Economic considerations are also central to this episode. Mr. Doar offers his perspective on the strength and resilience of the American economy, the current issues surrounding inflation, and the skills gap in the workforce. A robust endorsement of free markets, coupled with a nuanced discussion on regulation and taxation, provides listeners with a comprehensive understanding of economic ideologies.
