Mark Zandi: 我对特朗普政府的经济政策,特别是关税政策感到困惑,对关税的累积性和绝对性存在疑问,并担忧其对经济增长的负面影响。我认为特朗普政府的政策导致了经济的不确定性,并可能损害经济增长。 我与Jim Parrott长期合作研究,我们对特朗普政府的政策有深入的讨论。我们对政府机构改革的动机和方式存在疑问,并关注其对政府运作方式的影响。 我认为特朗普政府对美联储的干预可能会损害美联储的独立性,并对经济产生负面影响。 我担心特朗普政府的政策可能会导致经济衰退,并认为特朗普政府应该对经济指标的变化做出反应。 John Carney: 我认为特朗普政府的经济政策是对政府运作方式的彻底重新思考,旨在加强总统对政府机构的控制。这基于特朗普在第一任期内未能有效控制政府机构的经验,以及保守派法律理论的支持。 虽然特朗普公开表示希望控制美联储的利率政策,但他实际上不会干预美联储的独立性。美联储的货币政策是国会的职能,而美联储主席的任命也受到法律的约束。 我认为特朗普政府的关税政策不会对美国经济造成重大损害,反而可能导致全球关税的降低。即使经济增长放缓,特朗普政府也不会轻易放弃关税政策,而是会尝试其他措施来刺激经济增长。 我认为特朗普政府的政策会提高美国大选的政治风险,并可能增加总统面临弹劾的可能性。 Jim Parrott: 我与John Carney就特朗普政府的政策进行了深入的讨论,并试图理解其背后的逻辑。 我认为特朗普政府对政府机构的改革是激进的,它不仅涉及削减成本,更重要的是权力再分配,削弱了国会对政府机构的控制。 我认为特朗普政府对美联储的干预有限,但其对美联储的公开批评可能会影响市场预期。 我担心特朗普政府的政策可能会导致经济的不确定性,并对经济增长造成负面影响。 我认为特朗普政府的政策可能会导致权力向白宫集中,改变美国政府的运作方式。

Shownotes Transcript

Inside Economics was fortunate to have Trump whisperer John Carney of Breitbart News join the podcast to provide his insight on the Trump administration’s efforts to rework government and reshape economic policy. Urban Institute scholar Jim Parrott helped guide the conversation. Listeners will get a wildly different perspective from that provided by Robert Reich of UC Berkeley on the podcast last week. Hopefully, these back-to-back podcasts on Trump’s policies help put things into clearer relief.

 

Guests: John Carney, Finance and Economics Editor at Breitbart) & Jim Parrott, Nonresident Fellow at the Urban Institute )
