Hosted by Democratic Media Consultant Kobi Tirey and Banker Bill, a GSIB Banker, Is It Bad For The Economy asks whether Trump’s economic policies are good, bad, or just a load of hot air.
Ever since Trump was elected, I’ve gotten whiplash from how Banker Bill’s outlook on the economy, seemingly, flails from optimistic to apoplectic. I say seemingly because he’ll tell you this is a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde situation — they’re both true.In his State of the Union speech, Trump was so defensive that he wasn’t just unbelievable, he was boring. So, of course, now, Banker Bill feels that it’s his patriotic duty to sell the American economy to you better than Trump ever could. Our latest episode is out now, as always, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, andSubstack.
Meanwhile, Democratic Strategist Kobi Tirey goes over what voters really thought of the State of the Union, and how Warner Bros.’ woke business model just might be Paramount’s undoing.
