What's Happening to the U.S. Economy | Douglas Holtz-Eakin

Economist Douglas Holtz-Eakin joins us to discuss the major economic and fiscal issues impacting the nation. We get into the Federal Reserve's policies on interest rates and money printing, what's causing inflation, prospects of a recession, the outlook for Social Security, and the case of the missing American workers. Great episode for anyone who's wanted to know more about how the Fed works or wants a better understanding of America's long term fiscal outlook.
