Capitalism in space with Bob Zimmerman | Blacklisting update | Texas owes feds $7 billion – Pratt on Texas for 9/21/2021

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: Texas owes the feds about $7 billion for unemployment insurance with interest payments in the millions building. Why didn’t the legislature act on using the higher revenue estimate to pay this back? What sense does it make to put this on the back of struggling businesses in an unemployment tax increase when state government is responsible for shutting business down?

Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.

Robert Zimmerman
