What do Larry Kudlow, Janet Yellen, Steve Mnuchin, @econJaredB & me have in common? We all believe the permitting reform bill is essential for America to build, grow, tackle climate change and maintain our technological lead.
Probably the broadest letter I've ever signed.

It's almost as if Econ 101 usually works, and Oren Cass doesn't know anything
Trump’s tariffs raised prices on more than imports. New York Fed researchers found they also pushed up the cost of American-made goods.

Billions of dollars’ worth of contracts predicting oil would fall and the S&P 500 would rise were placed about 15 minutes before Trump announced a U-turn on Iran in a post on Truth Social. CFTC staff began to investigate-- then were told to lay off. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

There are real limits to what we can accomplish in a world where people believe nothing they do really matters.
My book (!) is about how we wound up in a place where millions of people feel like spectators in their own lives. And how we course correct. Because we can.

Infuriating—but this is what we warned anyone who would listen: Trump isn't the slightest bit trustworthy when it comes to Russia.
Giving him expanded tariff powers in hopes he would use them to help Ukraine was a mistake.
Now he's *lifting* sanctions on Russian fossil fuels.

Hey Congress, remember this 2022 law? I think it was called the "Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act." And it passed 100-0 in the Senate and 413-9 in the House....

does this mean we will soon start tariffing ourselves? The bill gave Trump the authority to impose 100% tariffs on the biggest purchasers of Russian oil/gas

If you want to argue that one of the most cited papers in policy discussions in the last 15 yrs had no impact then what does that say about every other policy paper?
It was VERY discussed by thoughtful policy people under Obama and shifted a lot of views and some policy.

Maybe it's just me, but I personally wouldn't have campaigned on lowering prices and then immediately enacted policies that increase prices. 🤷
New polling shows 80%+ of Americans disapprove of Trump on inflation.
That's more than ever disapproved of:
-Biden on the Afghanistan withdrawal
-Bush on the economy amid the financial crisis
-Bush on the Iraq war
-Bush on Katrina
-Reagan on Iran-Contra
-Carter on the economy amid stagflation
-Carter on the Iran hostage crisis
-Ford on his pardon of Nixon
-LBJ on Vietnam

Tariffs do not add to GDP.
We have a little more steel, a little less of everything else and, net, lower GDP and income.

A Treasury Secretary who controls neither the budget deficit nor the money supply nor international capital flows is never the “House"“ in financial markets, and anyone who claims to be such is, as Paul Krugman says, beclowning himself:
