On this episode, I discuss how easy it is for congress to agree about money, as long as they're buying bombs and planes. Then, I talk about the surprising texts that were sent to Trump's Chief of Staff from pundits that have spent the days since saying nothing much really even happened. Finally, I had another chance to speak with Orley Ashenfelter about how he and his Nobel Prize winning students have been on the forefront of the changing study of economics, and some weird trends of today's markets.
