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

Russia’s war on Ukraine is inflicting untold human suffering, as well as significant economic harms. In this episode of the AAF Exchange, AAF President Douglas Holtz-Eakin will discuss the potential economic impact of the war, as well this morning’s inflation report, Congress’ omnibus spending bill, and the Biden Administration’s next-phase COVID-19 strategy.
