    How the Sausage was Made: An Inside Look at the BEAD Program w/ James Erwin || EP 1417

    James Erwin joins Josh to discuss his experiences working on the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program as a staffer for Senator Susan Collins on Capitol Hill. They discuss how this massive bill and others like it get created, the near impossibility of creating a one size fits all bill that works for all the different states. Also, the different priorities of the Republican and Democrat Senators and staffers that turned a straightforward state block-grant program into a contradictory labyrinth of competing interests.  Then ultimately, how the Biden administration attempted to hijack the program during its implementation.    James' article in National Review: https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/11/bidens-broadband-bust/   Follow James work at Americans for Tax Reform: https://atr.org/   Follow James on X: https://x.com/erwin1854?s=21&t=S8JoQpY3m4n6bFrTo8tLrg (01:17) James Erwin's Background and Career Path (04:08) Experiences on Capitol Hill (04:36) Legislative Process and Staff Roles (11:45) Conflicting Priorities in Legislation (13:24) Republican and Democratic Agendas (15:49) Impact of Government-Owned Networks (23:46) Starlink and the Need for Competition (24:13) Republican and Democrat Approaches to Broadband Policy (24:34) Lobbyists and Career Paths in Politics (26:30) Libertarian Perspective on Government and Business (31:23) Challenges of a National Broadband Policy (33:31) The Impact of Price Controls on Broadband (41:40) Current State of the Broadband Bill (44:38) Final Thoughts and Call to Action
