Waste, Fraud, and Tax Hikes with Emily Ekins
This week we cover workplace injuries, MAGA antitrust in theory and practice, portable benefits for gig workers, and the new book Crushing Capitalism: How Populist Policies Are Threatening the American Dream. Our interview this week is with Emily Ekins, vice president and director of polling at the Cato Institute. We’ll talk about Cato’s 2025 Fiscal Policy National Survey and how Americans feel about the economy, government spending, and prospect of higher taxes next year.
