The Federal Reserve Hits Overtime

May 19, 2016


Lou Michels is in studio with The Chief to talk about The Federal Reserve/ Government and just how much power they have in today’s economy. Do the feds have a constantly increasing amount of power in 2016? Next, we touch on the new changes to the overtime law that will take place in December of 2016. Chief and Lou have a great discussion regarding a new patent law that is going into effect this week.

We finish off the show by talking about Russia’s new doping allegations, and other use of performance enhancing substances throughout other sports and other leagues.
