David Dayen, executive editor at The American Prospect, discusses the recent updates on Vice President Harris’ economic policy agenda.
David Dayen then sits down with Sam as they parse through the stark difference in the economic agendas of the Biden and Obama administrations, emphasizing the administrators’ role in providing at least a semblance of an economic plan amid crisis (neoliberal bank bailers for Obama, Bernie-Warren social progressives for Biden), and why just having a plan can often put you in a powerful position politically. Next, they shift to the ongoing candidacy of Kamala Harris and the slow rollout of her economic agenda, walking through various important rhetorical moves, whether gimmicky – like her appropriation of Trump’s tipping policy – or a clear signal of policy – such as keeping on many members of Biden’s economic team – before parsing through her stances on three key policy areas: housing, healthcare, and food. Dayen and Sam tackle her embrace of both NIMBY supply reforms and price control reform, her approach to expansive pharmaceutical costs and insurance, and major various anti-trust policies including addressing the gouging of food prices in crisis. Connecting these two conversations, David and Sam explore how Biden’s progressive momentum and economically progressive administration will carry over into a theoretical Harris administration, before Dayen wraps up the show with an assessment of the US’ (successful) battle with inflation over the last few years and the importance of presenting it in a global context.
