Description: Earlier this month, the White House unveiled a new initiative aimed at trying to serve and protect American consumers: Time is Money.

On today's episode: In a competitive market, companies want to treat their customers well or else they'll lose their customers to competitors ... so why does the White House want to intervene in this area of the free market?
