Trump’s 10% Credit Cap | GOP Economic Infighting | Georgia Replaces MTG
from Patriot Switchboard · host Harlan Mercer
President Trump floats a one-year 10% cap on credit card interest, and the banking class and Washington’s usual operators immediately start working overtime to stop it or water it down. Then we break down the GOP’s internal tension over the next big economic package, why “go big” usually turns into a bloated mess, and what prior mega-bills tell us about how the system really works. Finally, we head to Georgia’s 14th, where Marjorie Taylor Greene’s vacant seat has sparked a crowded scramble and a revealing fight over what kind of Republican voice replaces her in Trump country.
