Break It Down With Matt Carter

They discuss Matt's trip to the DMV, Donald Trump vs Hilary Clinton, millennials, government policies, and what we could or could not do without the government. Is Matt way off by opting out of the voting process? Do we really need the government for space programs, intellectual property, road construction, or national security?   Links: Break it Down: http://www.breakitdownpodcast.net/  Jason Stapleton http://www.jasonstapleton.com/  iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/break-it-down-with-matt-carter/id977905081?mt=2  Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/break-it-down-podcast Learn more about your ad choices.
