This week the Conservative Political Action Committee, also known as CPAC, hosts its annual meeting of leaders from the American

right.

Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak.

The event often previews some of the narratives will hear as more of the campaign goes

on, including on the economy.

Marketplace Adams reports.

We already know some of the GOP goals for the economy if the party reclaims the White House.

One of the things that I think we'll see is actually an end to a lot of current proposals

rather than a specific move towards new initiatives.

Tariffs are a bit of a gimmick. In the end, all they actually do is raise costs for the American consumer and just foster political
