Economic Wisdom from an MSNBC Host?

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. And that especially applies to checks from the government."I know, I know, she’s using the TANSTAAFL principle as a club to figuratively hit Donald Trump over the head. But you can’t use it as a club without understanding that it IS a club. So even if Ms. Reid turns off her understanding later when a Democratic president pushes a similar subsidy scheme, she right now has the understanding. That’s progress."
