Moving Forward: Nicolas Maduro, Republican palatability, Fair pay fiction, Dodd Frank Act

This week on Moving Forward, the Young Voices radio show, we hear from contributors Izabella Patriota, Ethan Watson, Charles Amos, and Alex Rosado

It's been two months since Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro refused to recognize the results of an election that he lost. Izabela Patriota describes Venezuela's dystopia and how other South American leaders are responding.

The incoming Trump administration has drawn fire over some of its more controversial nominations for cabinet positions. Ethan Watson says it's time for Republicans to adopt the politics of palatability.

Public sector workers in the U.K. are seeking what they call "fair pay" and threatening to strike if they don't get it. Charles Amos says they are chasing a fantasy that is at odds with free market economics.

The Dodd-Frank Act was passed in 2010 to give federal regulators the power to prevent future banking crises. Alex Rosado explains how this act also damaged community banking and how to correct this.
