The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 462 of the In The Tank Podcast. Over the past few weeks, Vice President and presidential candidate Kamala Harris has outlined a number of economic policy proposals her potential administration would enact.
