John, I'm excited to share the latest from CRC with you:Should we increase government control of health care?
Both before and after Obamacare, big insurance companies and big government controlled most spending on health care. The Affordable Care Act didn't so much change the U.S. third-party payment system as cram millions more people into it. A large coalition of nonprofits are now advocating for proposals ranging from gradual expansion of the third-party system to conversion to a single-payer system. CRC's Ken Braun investigates the threats here.How many Soros prosecutors are there? ([link removed]
It depends on how you slice the bad apple. CRC recently reported that George Soros had spent at least $29 million in direct support of dozens of DA candidates, including nearly two dozen still in office. Now a new Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund study identified as many as 75 prosecutors who have received more than $40 million in direct and indirect Soros support. However you count, the "rogue prosecutor" movement has been catastrophic in America's cities.

In her just-published book, Professor Claire Dunning critiques government grantmaking to nonprofits. She concludes that the grantmaking failed to achieve its stated policy purposes. In fact, government-nonprofit partnerships tended to serve the interests of elites, rather than solve the problems of citizens.

The Chalkboard Review
In this episode ([link removed] After teachers unions staked their political power and the future of public education on keeping schools closed -- excuse me, "open for virtual learning" -- and keeping students in masks, a parents revolt erupted nationwide. Many Americans are alarmed at ideologically charged teaching and the "learning loss" experienced by students as a result of the COVID lockdowns.
Joining CRC's Michael Watson to discuss key issues in education is Tony Kinnett, co-founder and executive director of Chalkboard Review.
