Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Paul Krugman on Trump‘s budgetary “cruelty” and more
Q: Think of what we're seeing with this budget proposal, what would it do to America and to people at the bottom of the income distribution?
It would massively cut the safety net, especially Medicaid, lowering purchasing power and health coverage for tens of millions, while funding tax cuts for the rich; in effect, it redistributes away from the low-income to enable billionaire benefits, framed as efficiency but experienced as cruelty.
Lunch Money with Paul Krugman and Heather Cox Richardson
Q: What sparked your interest in energy policy and how has the field evolved since you started?
The guest explains that his early work with a Yale mentor on energy during the 1970s oil shocks shaped his long-running engagement with energy policy, highlighting how geopolitics, subsidies, and technological shifts have continually redefined the landscape.
talking with Paul Krugman about the Trump economy and zombie Republican policies
Q: What could be done to restore credibility in government data and policy moving forward?
Replacing agency heads and rebuilding institutional memory is possible but long-term, requiring attention to civil service careers and safeguarding data integrity against political interference to maintain trust and policy effectiveness.
talking with Paul Krugman about the Trump economy and zombie Republican policies
Q: What is your view on the role of think tanks and corporate influence in economic policy discussions?
Krugman contends that donors and political actors increasingly demand propaganda over evidence, diminishing the availability of rigorous analysis from traditional, credible think tanks on the right, while the left maintains a more robust but still imperfect ecosystem.
talking with Paul Krugman about the Trump economy and zombie Republican policies
Q: What are the risks if someone like Hassett gains influence over monetary policy?
Although rate decisions are made by a committee, political pressure could push for unfamiliar policy moves; the risk is a politicized central bank that may react to short-term political considerations rather than long-term stability.
