Jason Hartman and his mom take this Christmas Eve to evaluate how the United States was able to go an entire decade without going into a recession. This is something that has never been done before, so why did it happen now? The two listen to a CNBC story and break down each of the points: sometimes agreeing, sometimes pointing out flaws in logic.

Then to cap off the episode, Jason's mom discusses her recent 3 day property tour of the Space Coast and how it reminds her a little bit of California.

Key Takeaways:
