Britain has voted to leave the EU since 2016 and yet, political elites seem to have opted for delay tactics to undermine people’s choice.

Three years ago the British people took a detour and opted to take the freeway to freedom. They voted to leave the European Union and reassert their national sovereignty and protect their traditional liberties. Since then the elites have sought to undermine the outcome of that vote and force Britain to continue to be tied to the apron strings of the European Union.

Join us for an interactive seminar with Tom Ballou to discuss what choices lie ahead for Britain as wells as their social and economic implications.

    MODERN MONEY & PUBLIC POLICY – SHOULD WE WORRY ABOUT THE FEDERAL DEFICIT?


    Few issues are more debated and yet less understood than the federal budget. We often hear that a balanced budget is key to national prosperity and that the national debt and deficits are the source of all economic ills. Based on Randall Wray’s book Making Money Work for Us: How MMT Can Save America, this panel will explain why we should stop worrying about the federal deficit and that the only real constraints on public policy are physical resources, technological capacity, and political will; but never money.
