This is a presentation on how you should think about political issues. You will learn why it is important to challenge the conventional wisdom concerning political thinking and why self-reliance is the key to human flourishing.
From the speaker, Don Watkins:
"If nothing is done, the bill for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid will bankrupt Millennials and their children. But support for these programs is strong, among the elderly and the young alike. In this talk, bestselling author Don Watkins argues that this support is based on a handful of myths, and that if Americans knew the truth about the welfare state, they would not want to save it–but to abolish it."
In this video you will learn:
- How the debt draft prevents you from pursuing your dreams.
- Why you should rethink the welfare state.
- How to create a new society that focuses on the individual.
About the speaker:

He has been interviewed on hundreds of radio and TV programs, and speaks regularly at conferences and university campuses, including Stanford, Brown, University of Virginia, and the University of Chicago, and he frequently debates supporters of the welfare state. Mr. Watkins is the host of a weekly podcast on the welfare state, The Debt Dialogues.
