Policy analyst Tad DeHaven from the Cato Institute joins Chris Rongey and Amy Marxkors on KMOX to break down the economic plans of the two presidential candidates. DeHaven criticizes both candidates for proposing more spending and debt, noting that Trump's economic plan would increase the national debt by $4 trillion more than Harris's. He also addresses the potential misuse of tariffs as a revenue source, calling them economically harmful. DeHaven emphasizes the long-term consequences of current spending levels, rising interest rates, and demographic changes.
