The Heist, a podcast from the Center for Public Integrity, examines the role of political donors and corporations in forming fiscal policy. The podcast follows key actors in tax policy and fiscal stimulus —both state officials and political donors. The Center for Public Integrity, a grantee, follows the thread from donor conversations in 2016, to rhetoric around policy in 2017 and 2020, and to the increasing budget deficit and impact on the middle class in the U.S.
