In this podcast episode, the hosts explore how the economic plans of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris could influence inflation. Both candidates recognize inflation as a pressing issue, but their approaches to tackling it are quite different. Economists raise red flags about Trump's proposals, especially his suggested tariffs and possible interference with the Federal Reserve, warning that these could actually drive inflation higher. On the other hand, the discussion around Harris centers on her strategies for managing housing costs and the implications of ongoing stimulus spending, with experts noting that while the overall impact on inflation remains uncertain, it could lean towards being inflationary. The conversation underscores the challenges of forecasting how presidential policies will affect inflation, highlighting the influence of external factors and the complexities of managing economic variables.
