The CRC Review is your source for common sense commentary covering the public policy and salient topics impacting our national economy and overall society. 

The original content you will experience here will focus on available facts, evidence, and data to evaluate ideas that may improve our quality of life or reinforce our shared values and principles. 

The current environment Americans live in is not normal. The residual effects of the global pandemic changed the way Americans interact and operate in society. Public policy provided Americans great insight on how far the government will go to demonstrate its power over the people. 

America is a nation valuing freedom and self-determination, but our leaders went to great to curb both even when those efforts were no longer needed. Give the government an inch and it may take a mile through coercion. At times, society needs to trust our leaders, but our leaders should operate in the spirit of America.  

In this podcast, I discuss the state of our journey through the pandemic as well as other salient topics from our current events. Please click above to experience Our Current State. 

CRIME & SOCIETY

christopherpeter CAPITAL PUNISHMENT, CRC REVIEW, CRC5, CRIME, Law and Order, PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY Comments Off on CRIME & SOCIETY

The CRC Review is your source for common sense commentary covering the public policy and salient topics impacting our national economy and overall society. 
Americans deserve to live in communities where law and order is the norm not a privilege. Americans of all backgrounds should be able to raise their children, work, and live their lives in safe communities. Threats to people’s safety, the public’s trust, and the credibility of our economy and institutions cannot be tolerated. 
 
There really is no such thing as a victimless crime. There always is a victim in a crime. Insurance does not address all the repercussions associated with criminal acts. People should not sympathize with those who choose criminal acts. Yes, it is a choice. 
 
Our idea of justice is not always as straight forward as one might ideally expect. The good do not always win and the bad in our society benefit. Americans must require our leaders hold bad actors accountable and improve law enforcement’s ability to bring people to justice in a fair and equal manner.

THE MONEY WE SPEND

The CRC Review is your source for common sense commentary covering the public policy and salient topics impacting our national economy and overall society. 

Some people feel that government spending is possible without limitations. These individuals are wrong. There are numerous examples throughout the world that excessive government spending negatively impacts an economy in the long run and devalues currency. 

There is a need for government spending in times of crisis or economic instability but spending needs to be limited. The best approach is to utilize on what is needed before the private sector is able to provide for society once again. There is multiplier effect in terms of growth in private sector spending, whereas some economists believe there is a suppressing effect with public spending.

Our spending also should not fully subsidize poverty rather help to elevate people towards income mobility. There will always be some people in need of perpetual assistance, but every able-bodied citizen should be working and contributing to our society. 

In this podcast, I discuss how our government spending can be made more efficient and effective. Additionally, I discuss salient current events. Please click above to experience The Money We Spend.

TAKING THE FIGHT TO POVERTY

christopherpeter CRC REVIEW, CRC5, Free Market Capitalism, Income Mobility, MINIMUM WAGE, OPPORTUNITY, POVERTY, SELECT, WEALTH CREATION Comments Off on TAKING THE FIGHT TO POVERTY

 



The CRC Review is your source for common sense commentary covering the public policy and salient topics impacting our national economy and overall society. 

The common theme you experience here is the idea of empowering the people. Focusing on allowing people to make the choices that are best for the individual situations, needs, and wants. Americans should not be forced to limit our expectations to the choices afforded by government, rather by those available by our effort, opportunity, and ingenuity. 

There is a need to expand opportunity in our society. Broadening the pipelines of success to more communities and groups in our society. The question is whether we do this through redistribution or through expanding the economic principles that made America the leading and most innovative economy in the world. 

America must harness the innovation, ambition, and productivity of the American people, which many people seem hesitant to do. America should help more people of all different backgrounds increase investments, entrepreneurial pursuits instead of securing spots on government programs. Americans must be champions of their own success rather than victims of circumstance. 

In this podcast, I discuss how America can improve our fight against poverty. I also provide a real-life example of income mobility, which is key to elevating people out of poverty through the dignity of work. Please click on the above to experience Taking the Fight to Poverty podcast. 

HEALTHY LEVEL OF SKEPTICISM

christopherpeter Andrew Cuomo, BIDEN, COVID-19, Employment, Executive Orders, IMPEACHMENT, TRUMP Comments Off on HEALTHY LEVEL OF SKEPTICISM

 


The CRC Review is your source for common sense commentary covering the public policy and salient topics impacting our national economy and overall society.
People should hold a general level of skepticism about any society. Political, social, or economic cynicism is healthy to a point. There are valid reasons to doubt what our leaders state, what we see or read in the media, and what fellow Americans hold as facts that are actually opinions. 
Normally, our society relies on credible sources to determine factual statements versus bloviation or what politicians call political speak. Those credible sources are usually our news media, including newspapers, news channels, and nightly news broadcasts. 
Unfortunately, these sources are lighter on the journalism and bigger on advancing narratives, as many journalists struggle to objectively report facts rather choosing to select facts that advance a predetermined stance. Too often we are coerced and shamed into believing things that turn out to be completely false a few weeks later.
That is why people cannot have complete trust in our institutions that usually help educate the public. Please click on the podcast above for more about why skepticism is healthy in our society. 

BETTER AMERICA

The CRC Review is your source for common sense commentary covering the public policy and salient topics impacting our national economy and overall society. 

The original content you will experience here will focus on available facts, evidence, and data to evaluate ideas that may improve our quality of life or reinforcing our shared values and principles. 

This podcast is called Better America, where I discuss how our society can better exemplify our espoused values. The issues facing our communities are not caused because America has the wrong values or the wrong ideals. Many times, it is because our leaders or our fellow Americans have not lived up to these ideals or consistently afforded people fair consideration under these principles. 

America needs to strengthen our commitment to our foundation in supporting freedom. Afford people the freedom to live their life they way they choose to and accept the responsibilities for their choices. Ensure people have equal access to their share of the American, avoiding cronyism, nepotism, and other manipulations. Protect the rights of the faithful, not coercing them to contradict their strongly held beliefs. 

America must be a nation of law and order, where laws are fairly and equally applied. America must continue to afford the accused the presumption of innocence, regardless of the narratives of media or social media. America must never bend the need to mob mentality rather be a society of rational discourse. Good trouble leads to bad consequences in the long run.

THE END OF THE TRUMP ERA

christopherpeter 2020 Presidential Election, JOE BIDEN, President Donald Trump Comments Off on THE END OF THE TRUMP ERA


President Donald Trump’s time in office officially ends and Joe Biden takes the reins. Another changing of the guard and a new era in American life. American life always moves forward to a new day, a new dawn. 
The Trump Era was as consequential and must see as a presidential administration could be. President Donald Trump had a strong personality, big ego, and great resolve to take on all combatants, which helped to make him a lightning rod for debate. 
President Donald Trump did not have to run for office. He has a great family, a successful business, and a great life. He did not need to subject himself or his family to the political hatred and harassment from his political opponents. He did not have a half a decade in public office in need of validation. 
In the above podcast, I discuss the high and lows and why the Trump Era was a net positive for our society, despite the chaos and tension at times. Also, I project forward to what America can expect in the next era of our great American story. Please click above to experience The Trump Era podcast.

THE CASE FOR BIPARTISANSHIP

christopherpeter 2020 Presidential Election, BIPARTISANSHIP, Congress, President Donald Trump, SELECT, THE CRC REVIEW Comments Off on THE CASE FOR BIPARTISANSHIP

 



America is in a crisis of our own making. There is a clear need for a national change of perspective. Change from a society that views our political opposition as an existential threat to our democracy. Change from a society that views the problem with our society simply being the existence of the other side. 


Our problems did not originate from one individual, one political party, or one group of people. Our underlying problems with political tribalism, ideological rigidity, hysteria, anger, and jealousy transitioned with past changes of administrations. Our political environment continues to move away from cooperation and compromise. Our society continues to allow political views to divide family and friends. Our media institutions continue to wedge society based on exaggerated differences, ignoring the many areas of agreement.


Our society needs to return to a point where compromise, cooperation, and consideration are acceptable aspects of government and daily life. A point where good faith negotiations craft solutions that benefit the broadest group of Americans.

THE YEAR 2O2O

christopherpeter 2020, 2020 Presidential Election, COVID-19, George Floyd, POLICE REFORM, President Donald Trump, THE CRC REVIEW Comments Off on THE YEAR 2O2O

 



The Year 2020 was a challenging year across the globe. A global pandemic impacted every nation in the world. Social unrest impacted many of our cities in a disturbing manner that went well beyond our democratic traditions. A contentious presidential election to cap it off. 

Many people struggled to deal with the situation not of their choosing. Others decided to make the most of it and found opportunity to help their fellow human rather than wallow in the emotions of the moments. Tough times breed tough people and it is the tough people that make it to the other side.

THE BIDEN BUNCH

christopherpeter Government Overreach, JANET YELLEN, JOE BIDEN, PODCAST, REVIEW, TECH COMPANIES, THE CRC REVIEW Comments Off on THE BIDEN BUNCH


There is a reason the Biden campaign kept Joe Biden in the basement. He demonstrates clear errors in judgement and questionable behaviors. Therefore it is important to control his exposure to the general public. 

Americans should be wary of the Cabinet picks made to this point. While his supporters gloat over his victory, it appears the losers will be Americans and our society as a whole. 

Americans should be concerned about the people being selected to serve in his Cabinet. Please click above for more information.
