Tracy Alloway and Will Sommer: A Cabinetful of Clueless Grifters
The Bulwark
— · 1hr
Yield curve control has gone mainstream (seriously, just ask the Asheville Beatnik with a message for Scott Bessent), so Tracy Alloway is here to explain the latest economic turmoil to Tim.
Bessent’s bond buyback gambit seems to have flopped, but apparently, according to the President, there’s always the option of military intervention to bring the market to heel.
In the meantime, consumers are going to pay more interest on everything, and there’s no plan to reduce the federal debt.
Then, for some MAGA drama dessert, Will Sommer joins the pod to talk about Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s dud of a pay-for-play road trip video series, the Trump/Tucker beef, and the feud between a Groyper-adjacent Undersecretary of State and an anonymous MAGA propaganda account that your tax dollars are paying for.
Will Sommer and Tracy Alloway join Tim Miller.
