Trump's "Systematic" Undermining of the Economy - Talking Feds with Harry Litman and Platypus Economics with Justin Wolfers



With gas prices surging and inflation on the rise once more, Harry turns to economist Justin Wolfers to get a handle on what Trump is doing to the U.S. economy.

Wolfers explains why the real cost of the war with Iran is vastly higher than the figures quoted so far by the Pentagon, how long exorbitant fuel costs could last, and the deeper, unremarked ways that Trump is challenging the foundations of American prosperity. - 05/18/2026.
