04/14/2017: Trump’s on-the-job economic crash course

The economic policy of the United States today is substantially different than it was at the start of the week. President Trump has flipped on a bunch of stuff, and that’s a big deal. Has his “thinking evolved,” as politicians so often say? Or did he, um, just not know what he was talking about during the campaign? We’ll talk about it in the Weekly Wrap. Then: Americans are moving for work a lot less than they used to, and it’s not clear why. Plus, “Fate of the Furious” will probably dominate the box office this weekend, but it’s also Easter, so we’re going to look into the economics of faith-based films.
