04/24/2017: Americans are less anxious — except for millennials

It’s a big week for the American economy. Forget that much-rumored but unlikely vote on the GOP health care plan for a minute. Let’s talk about something that’s at least somewhat in the White House’s control, kind of: Is the government going to shut down Friday night? What’s going on with tax reform? We talked with Kevin Brady, Republican congressman from Texas and chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. Plus, what’s ahead for net neutrality under this administration. Then: We have the latest numbers back from our Economic Anxiety survey. Turns out Americans are less anxious overall, but millennials are the big exception.
