Socialism sucks, is more irreverent than most Public Policy books we usually organize events around here at cato but i can assure you the authors we are featuring today are serious accomplished economists with decades of scholarly work. Inevitably, they have drinksn their hand, probably because we chat at receptions, hotel bars and the like. But the conversation is always interesting, informative, and fun.

Senator Bernie Sanders calling those four senators out by name, if t
He is going to the cdc. Well talk about the tornado response in a moment. The big Economic News out of the white house though is the shift in approach when it comes to the virus. Tell us about that. Indeed. It came from the top economic advisor. Every month he does these roundrobin interviews with all the financial networks. Kudlow wanted it to be absolutely Crystal Clear with anyone who would listen to him that right now the Trump Administration is considering some economic measures in response to the coronavirus. This is a bit of a 180 especially here. Kudlow also made it clear this wouldnt be some sort of big money dump to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars. We are not looking at big expensive macro cash rebates, helicopter money from the sky that never works. We want to have this targeted in a timely fashion for those areas that have been hit the worst. You hear him talking about targeted and timely. Ive heard him use that phrase at least a dozen times. He said this is sti
