John Stossel joined economists from around the country Thursday at the Cato Institute for a taping of a *[20/20](http://abcnews.go.com/2020)* special that will air Friday March 13 called “Bailouts, Big Spending and Bull.”

The segment is based on [Reason TV](http://reason.tv/featuredvids/)’s *Drew Carey Project*, and examines “bailouts, medical marijuana, universal preschool, private highways, border walls, and the myth of the struggling middle class.”

Check your local listings for exact air time.
