On a recent Price of Business, Host Kevin Price visited with Diana Furchtgott-Roth.

In this episode of The Price of Business Show, host Kevin Price interviews economist and scholar Dr. Diana Furchtgott-Roth to discuss current political and economic dynamics surrounding the Trump presidency and upcoming elections.

Political Dynamics and Midterm Impact: The host and guest discuss the political stakes of the upcoming elections. Furchtgott-Roth highlights how unified control of Congress and the presidency enables smoother policy implementation, whereas a divided government significantly alters legislative outcomes.
Concerns Over Governance and Institutions: Price expresses strong criticism regarding Donald Trump’s governance, raising concerns over executive orders, institutional norms, and the departure from traditional Reagan-style conservatism.
Economic Policy and Regulation: Furchtgott-Roth defends Trump’s economic policies, citing tax cuts, regulatory rollbacks (such as CAFE fuel standards), and efforts to stimulate growth.
National Debt and Tariffs: The discussion addresses the $40 trillion national debt. Price criticizes Trump’s contribution to the debt and his use of tariffs, while Furchtgott-Roth argues that spending stems from prior legislative programs (e.g., healthcare and pandemic relief acts) and frames tariffs as leverage for international negotiations.
