Where are the little fingers turning screws? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt4G...

See Laurel that's what the penguins were trying to tell us!

1- I don't think I ever posted anything published by the American Enterprise Institute before. To calculate tariffs, the Trump administration (1) selected a formula that does not make economic sense and (2) assigned the wrong value to one of the variables. www.aei.org/economics/pr...

Felon Trump’s tariffs based on massive error, conservative think tank says: "Now, our view is that the formula the administration relied on has no foundation in either economic theory or trade law," - AEI economists, Kevin Corinth & Stan Veuger. www.aei.org/economics/pr...

On Trump's tariffs, it's errors all the way down. AEI's Kevin Corinth & Stan Veuger show how mistaken use of retail vs. trade elasticities raised "retaliatory" rates 4x: www.aei.org/economics/pr... Trump could fire folks, announce the fix, and limit the damage. Would be less wrong... #TeachEcon

@booker.senate.gov what I did this week: Monday - Listen to Corey Booker. Tuesday - Listen to Corey Booker. Wednesday - Listen to Corey Booker again. Thursday - Listen to Corey Booker again. Friday - Listen to Corey Booker again.

Trump's EV mandate? Did Trump's tariffs just kill Detroit ICE model? If Detroit can't pass on the 25% tariffs, then the administration has essentially put the whole ICE based automobile industry on a death march to EV's. Aside from vertically integrated EV production there is no other way out.
