Grading Economic Policy

A spirited debate erupts between hosts Dave Spencer and Carrie Sheffield over the economic impacts of recent policies. Sheffield argues for the success of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, citing Tax Foundation data showing potential tax increases for families if provisions expire. Spencer strongly counters, pointing out that 81% of the tax benefits went to the top 1% and questions the timing of tax cuts during economic boom periods. The discussion heats up over Trump's economic legacy, with competing claims about GDP rankings, wage growth, and the real impact of inflation on American households. This engaging segment highlights the continuing partisan divide over how to measure and achieve economic success.
