Summary

Since taking office in January, President Donald Trump has made cost-cutting a key focus of his agenda; now House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is arguing that this could mean cuts to Medicaid cuts are now looming. Congressman Jodey Arrington (R-TX), the Chairman of the House Budget Committee, joins the Rundown to discuss the reconciliation process, what the GOP really thinks of entitlement reform, and expresses his hopes for bipartisan agreement on spending moves going forward. The Federal Reserve announced they would hold rates steady, leaving consumers and investors to question the strength of the US economy. While inflation has drawn back in the first few months of President Trump's term, the price of consumer goods remains high compared to his first term in office. Former Director of the Congressional Budget Office and President of the American Action Forum Doug Holtz-Eakin joins the Rundown to discuss the latest action from the Federal Reserve and what data consumers should be looking at to gauge the state of the economy. Plus, commentary from New York Post columnist and co-author of "Stolen Youth," Karol Markowicz. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
