Today, he joins the show to outline some of the big issues of the past and present facing the U.S. economy. Kevin argues that the Obama administration policies exacerbated the sluggish nature of the recovery from the Great Recession and explains how he thinks President Trump’s policies on taxes, deregulation, and infrastructure will lead to stronger economic growth.
