Trump's "Systematic" Undermining of the Economy

from Talking Feds · host Harry Litman

With gas prices surging and inflation on the rise once more, Harry turns to economist Justin Wolfers to get a handle on what Trump is doing to the U.S. economy. Wolfers explains why the real cost of the war with Iran is vastly higher than the figures quoted so far by the Pentagon, how long exorbitant fuel costs could last, and the deeper, unremarked ways that Trump is challenging the foundations of American prosperity.  Mentioned in this episode:  Platypus Economics on YouTube:  https://youtube.com/@PlatypusEconomics?
