The Ramsey Show Highlights

I very much admire that Dave has not been afraid to step in to politics in a thoughtful rational way as it relates to finances. I’m going to play for my children his explanation on why he has voted in every election since he was 18 and how he makes his decision who to vote for.

This show has become more like The 500 Club than a financial show. Listened since 2016, had to cut it off. Everything and everyone is bringing in politics and opinions. It’s nauseating.

I’ve been listening to Dave for years and my husband and I use his advice. I have listened to Dave rants in good humor and I don’t agree with his veiled political affiliations. It’s clear which way he leans but he doesn’t say it outright. That being said I’m fine with it. BUT, recently he went on a rant and about taxes and said people who vote “wrong” should be ashamed of themselves. Money is not everything and political issues around taxes are complex in my opinion. This particular rant finally offended me and I’m taking a break from his podcast. I’ll probably circle back in time because the advice and stories are inspiring. I’m not ashamed of myself but I am disappointed today. Dave’s welcome to his opinions but the rant was in bad taste for a person who is rich in not only money but wisdom and who helps so many people.

Price controls are a bad idea. History bears that out, in spades. But Ken’s example of food deserts in rural and urban areas?? Sir, that is happening in this country in a big way as we speak. Read the news. (Thank you to Rachel for picking up on that.) Kamala Harris is a capitalist. She’s not going to institute Venezuelan-style price controls. She hasn’t said she wants to. And the fact is: it’s not going to happen. You all claim to have faith in America. Please prove it and quit the badly-informed histrionics. Dave, hysteria is bad for the market. You shouldn’t allow this on your show. And for Pete’s sake Ken, Ms. Harris is Vice President of the United States. Learn to pronounce her name.
