In this weeks episode of the We Make Florida podcast, B.J. Brunious tackles the complex issues of how America's infrastructure came to be throughout history. From Abraham Lincoln to Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, Lyndon Johnson, and now Joe Biden, infrastructure is something that has been a dream of most American presidents but only a few in American history have been able to successfully take that dream to the finish line. Remember we all want the same things to have safe expanded highways and streets that don't have a sitting in traffic for an hour just to get to work. That is not too hard to ask. But there are corrupt self-ambitious politicians who are purposely introducing lies and distractions in order to divide us. Because they know that if we are united together, we can expose the motivations of politicians who are only here to serve themselves and not the American people. Matt Gaetz, Alex Andrade, Ron DeSantis are just a few of the corrupt QAnon conservatives who purposely caused division on social media in order to distract your crazy uncle from realizing that he is being screwed by the system not your high school principle.

On the inaugural episode of the We Make Florida Podcast B.J. Brunious talks about crippling student loan debt affecting Floridians and Americans across the nation. With $1.8 TRILLION in total student loan debt, Americans under 40 are delaying getting married, starting families, buying homes, and replacing those life milestones with student loan repayment schedules. Your host talks about his $257,000 student loan burden and the burdens of other Americans saddled with crippling educational debt. Today corrupt politicians scapegoat immigrants, pit races against one another, and create class warfare as a tool to distract hard-working people of all races and zip codes while they rob us blind. We know the game and it's not going to work. We Make Florida the state where Americans want to retire. No matter what we look like or where we come from we all want to make a descent living, be able to afford our bills, and take our family on a vacation every summer. We can choose candidates that accomplish just that. Let's Go! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/we-make-florida/support
