HOH’s favorite geeky wonk-rock band is back to explain complicated stuff to America through the magic of song.

Thanks, guys! Some of our favorite lyrics:
I’m a free rider, No Beltway insider, Ain’t buying that mandate, Don’t want broccoli on my plate, So I’m a free rider

I’m a free rider, And a guardrail-collider, But from my ER bill, I’m gonna pay nil, ‘Cause I’m a free rider
…
He’s a free rider, Red, black, and blue free rider, The rest of us will pay, For his hospital stay, ‘Cause he’s a free rider
