Tune in here to this Monday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! 



Brett kicks off the program by talking about the extreme summer heat and the political ambitions of Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear. Brett jokes about the relentless temperatures and encourages listeners to stay hydrated as the heat continues across the region. He then turns to Beshear’s comments about the economy, the cost of groceries, gas and health care, and his claim that he has created more jobs than any other governor in Kentucky history. Brett questions Beshear’s political positioning, particularly his effort to present himself as both pro-business and aligned with progressive Democratic policies.



Later, Brett looks back at President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Great Society programs and questions the long-term impact of decades of federal spending. Brett argues that the Great Society established a pattern of increasing government spending and taxation that continues today. He examines the difficulty of calculating exactly how much has been spent on domestic programs since the 1960s, noting that the federal government does not maintain one single historical category for “domestic spending.” Using broader federal expenditure data, Brett highlights the staggering scale of government outlays since the Great Society era, pointing to a figure of more than $200 trillion in total federal expenditures over the period.
