11/09/2017: The mad scientists at Wendy’s

(Markets Edition) The Senate is expected to unveil its tax plan today, which is reported to have significant changes from the House’s version. Diane Swonk, CEO of DS Economics, stopped by to walk us through some of these potential differences, which may include the speed or rate at which corporate taxes are cut. Afterwards, we’ll look at how Wendy’s is trying to attract more customers by turning one of its oldest restaurants into a “laboratory.”

The Wendy's in the Clintonville neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio, has a flat screen TV, an outdoor patio, printed menus and electronic ordering kiosks.
