Summary

James and Al emphasize how winning the upcoming elections is dependent on us all getting politically active and are joined by economics expert Professor Laura Tyson.  Together, they give us the case for Bidenomics, explain the similarities and differences to what Clinton did, and why Democrats are historically far better for the economy than Republicans.  Whether it’s the focus on bottom up and middle out growth, or infrastructure projects that create jobs and strengthen social support systems, they make it clear voters don’t want to get trickled down on!

Email your questions to James and Al at politicswarroom@gmail.com or tweet them to @politicon.  Make sure to include your city, we love to hear where you’re from!
