57:00Now Playing"...the only thing I hate more than not having a car is being taken advantage of or being a sucker..."
Economist Justin Wolfers just launched Platypus Economics, his independent media start-up, at a critical moment for understanding America's chaotic economic landscape. As the April CPI report drops this week with incoming Fed Chair Kevin Warsh taking office around May 15, Susan discusses the mounting pressures facing households.
Wolfers has been vocal about Trump's tariffs being ruled unconstitutional twice, while arguing that "his policies are hurting the American people and he doesn't want to admit it" amid claims of "fake inflation." With gasoline prices up more than 30% since the Iran war began and families on track to pay over $2,500 in tariff-related costs this year, Susan explores how economic uncertainty is paralyzing both businesses and consumers.
As Wolfers puts it, he's delayed buying a family car because of tariff uncertainty — "the only thing I hate more than not having a car is being taken advantage of or being a sucker" — a perfect microcosm of how policy chaos freezes economic decision-making across America.
