Recessions, though unpleasant, are ultimately good for the economy. Like a forest fire, they clear out the dead wood and make way for new, healthy growth. But the boom of the last decade accumulated a great deal of kindling, and the coming recession might be deeper and longer than prior ones. Vitaliy shares why.

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/intellectualinvestor/The_Slippery_Slope_of_Student_Loan_Forgiveness_v3_2022-11-02.mp3
When the President decided to forgive $10,000 of student debt for everyone anyone earning below $125,000, he opened a very slippery slope of government bailouts.
