New Podcast Episode: Assessing Policy Responses to COVID-19

It’s The AAF Exchange — your source for clear, data-driven insight into today’s economic and domestic policy issues.

In our latest episode, AAF President Douglas Holtz-Eakin discusses the state of play in the negotiations over the next federal pandemic-response legislation. Holtz-Eakin contrasts Senate Republicans’ HEALS Act with House Democrats’ HEROES Act and explains the various sticking points between the two sides, including aid to state and local governments as well as businesses. He also gives his prediction for this Friday’s jobs report and discusses how this report could impact the next legislative response package, and he explains why the federal approach to coronavirus testing is misguided.
