About the Episode
Among President-elect Trump’s promises for his second term is a pledge to slash federal spending. He appointed Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, and Vivek Ramaswamy, a biotech company founder, to run an advisory commission. This week, the pair said they’re aiming to cut $500 million in annual spending, but there are big questions about that. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Maya MacGuineas.
