Catherine Rampell on Trump’s Economic Policies (Al Franken podcast)

We’re joined by Washington Post columnist and co-host of MSNBC’s The Weekend, Catherine Rampell!

Catherine breaks down what the Big, Beautiful Bill means for Americans and why it’s been so important for Trump and the Republicans to get it done. It will balloon our deficit and gut the social safety net. And for what? Tax breaks for the richest Americans.
