Episode notes
Trumpflation Concerns
- Trump's economic policies, including tariffs, tax cuts, and deportations, are predicted to cause inflation.
- This contradicts previous media claims about inflation under Biden and modern monetary theory.
Tariffs as Leverage
- Trump's tariff strategy involves leveraging wins from other countries, not just raising consumer prices.
- His renegotiation of NAFTA (USMCA) exemplifies this, resulting in moderate changes beneficial to the US.
Tax Cuts vs. Spending
- Tax cuts differ from government spending; they don't automatically cause inflation.
- Keeping one's money promotes rational economic decisions, unlike government spending on special interests.
