Bidenomics, America’s Bad Credit, New Trump Charges

Ravi is joined by guest co-host Isaac Saul, founder and author of the popular newsletter Tangle. President Biden recently coined his economic agenda “Bidenomics,” but the White House’s efforts to sell the plan haven’t been successful. So what is Bidenomics, and was it a risk for the Biden admin to stamp the President’s name on it? Fitch Ratings downgraded the U.S. government’s credit rating from ‘AAA’ to ‘AA+’ this month. Ravi and Isaac discuss the first downgrade by a major rating firm in over a decade and whether there’s cause for concern. Finally, the hosts review the legal ins and outs of Trump’s latest indictment, the former President’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and the political implications of his continued legal troubles.
