In our latest episode, AAF President Douglas Holtz-Eakin discusses his recent testimonies before the Senate Banking Committee and the Senate Budget Committee. He considers whether the American Rescue Plan is appropriately scaled and targeted for the economic recovery, as well as the dangers of a bill that is too big. Holtz-Eakin also discusses the interaction between the social safety net and wages and answers the question of whether the taxpayer is subsidizing the wages of large corporations.
