  • Interesting!

    I fell asleep in every economics class I’ve taken. I love that I can better understand what’s going on globally by listening to these folks. I hope current Econ profs are using current affairs to teach in more interesting ways.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tariffs on Trial: The Supreme Court Strikes Down Key Tariffs — Now What?
Q: What happens next after the decision?
The administration announced 10% Section 122 tariffs to take effect, with the possibility of extending to 150 days and other investigations under 301 and 232 proceeding separately; 122 tariffs do not require the same notice-and-comment process and can be implemented more quickly, while 301/232 investigations proceed through their standard processes.
Tariffs on Trial: The Supreme Court Strikes Down Key Tariffs — Now What?
Q: Tell me what the Supreme Court decided on Friday.
The Court ruled 6-3 that IEPA-based tariffs were unconstitutional as applied, striking down the fentanyl-based tariffs and the reciprocal tariffs, while making clear the decision did not affect MFN tariffs or other authorities like 301 and 232.
Reconciliation Roadmap and Tariff Updates
Q: Are eventually they just going to get something passed and send it over to the Senate, even though they don't believe that their fiscal cuts or desires are met?
Yes, there are two battles going on, and the imperative for the House is passing something to lead into Senate negotiations.
Reconciliation Roadmap and Tariff Updates
Q: Do you think they will get it done before Memorial Day?
Yes, the speaker has been doubted time and time again, but I believe it will get done.
Reconciliation Roadmap and Tariff Updates
Q: Do they get a bill that can get to 218 and pass the House?
Yes, they will. It's just a question of whether they can do that before Memorial Day.
