Posted on December 20, 2018 | Comments Off on The Weekly Top 3 (12.17.2018)

Welcome to The Weekly Top 3 — our look at the top 3 things on our mind this week — for the week of December 17, 2018.

For those that follow, this is our final podcast of 2018. We will resume the week of January 7, 2019.

The Weekly Top 3 is a regular segment on The Michael Dukes Show. I join Michael on the Show each Tuesday from, now 6:20-7am for a discussion between the two of us about the three issues. The Show broadcasts on FacebookLive and via streaming audio from the Show’s website  weekdays from 6-8am.

This week our Top 3 issues are these: (1) our thoughts on the Dunleavy Administration’s revenue forecast and budget proposal (at 2:00); (2) our view of what the new Dunleavy Administration should be doing with the #AKLNG project (19:47); and (3) what the 2017 federal tax cut, 2018 spending bill & resulting huge federal deficit mean for the U.S. economy in the coming year (27:00).

And then at the end, because this is our last segment of 2018, Michael asks for our final thoughts on 2018 and how we see the playing field in the New Year (31:40).

The segment is at the YouTube clip above. For those that prefer the audio version, it is available on our Soundcloud page here. For this and other complete podcasts of The Michael Dukes Show, go to the Show’s Soundcloud page here.
