EDIT (4P ET): Thank you all so much for the incredible questions! There were so many, and I tried to get to as many as I could before I had to run and prep for my new podcast, Receipts. I’m sorry I couldn’t answer everyone, but this was a ton of fun. Thanks for having me, r/politics, and thanks to everyone who joined in! Hi r/politics! I’m Catherine Rampell, economics editor at The Bulwark and an anchor/analyst at MS NOW. Before joining The Bulwark, I spent more than a decade as an opinion columnist at The Washington Post and previously worked as an economics reporter and editor at The New York Times. My work focuses on the intersection of economics, politics, and public policy, which means I spend a lot of time digging into inflation, tariffs, housing, jobs, immigration, taxes, government spending, corruption, and whatever politicians are claiming about the economy on any given day. At The Bulwark, I write Receipts, a weekly newsletter devoted to looking beyond the headlines and seeing what the data actually says. We also just launched Receipts as a new podcast, where I’m following the money, interrogating conventional wisdom, and digging into the economic and political stories that actually affect people’s lives. Ask me about the economy, Trump’s economic agenda, tariffs, housing affordability, inflation, immigration, the Fed, covering economic policy, working at The Bulwark, the new Receipts podcast—or anything else. I’ll be here from 2–4 p.m. ET answering your questions. Proof: https://imgur.com/a/zKHBNkL submitted by /u/BulwarkOnline [link] [comments]
