Published 4 years, 10 months ago
Description
Today, The Two Mikes discussed the economies of the states located in America's Mid-West Heartland — focusing on Kansas and Indiana — with renowned economist and urban-studies specialist Aaron Renn.
"It struck me for a while that you always hear red states talk about how business-friendly they are, but you never hear them talk about how citizen-friendly they are, when ultimately, it's the people that we care about," he said. "We do care about business. I'm pro-business, pro-market because we want economic growth, we want jobs."
