Show #026 Our Crumbling Infrastructure

1. Introduction

   Hello and welcome to Your Friendly Neighborhood Economist Show #026 "Our Crumbling Infrastructure" on August 12, 2014! I am Tom Masterson, Your Friendly neighborhood Economist and in today's show I will indeed talk about our crumbling infrastructure, what is not being done about it and how it relates to the Federal Budget. Then I will look at the state of global warming, especially the new regulations issued by the Environmental Protection Agency. Finally, I have an interview with Lee Badgett, professor of Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Director of the Center for Public Policy and Administration at UMass Amherst and Senior Scholar at the Williams Institute of UCLA. I'll have my usual unpredictable mix of music and exciting sound effects as well, but first, as always, some local economics news. Hang on to your hats, folks, Your Friendly Neighborhood Economist is IN. 

Tune in tomorrow

Tomorrow's show, #026 Our Crumbling Infrastructure, includes the usual bag of local, state and national news. I will discuss of the state of our infrastructure and what's not being done about it. Also, why. And I'll begin to dig into the carbon regulations being put forth by the Environmental Protection Agency. All this and an interview with Lee Badgett, Professor of Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, director of the Center for Public Policy and Administration, and Senior Scholar at the Williams Institute at UCLA. You can hear it on WGXC 90.7 FM Acra, Catskill, Hudson or online. Show notes and link to the archived show will follow. Real soon.
