Michael thank you for this comment! Balance is exactly why I did these two interviews and posted them back to back. Easier and better to let two partisans, different sides of issues, let them express their views, analyses and let listeners make up their own minds.
My heart is happy hearing that you are enjoying this. I am blessed with a long career where I have interviewed, gotten to know many smart, interesting people. It's great to share their views with others like you.
Enjoyed Steve's describing the economy as being in "a mess," in contrast to Fed chairman Jerome Powell's testimony to the contrary yesterday, and characterizing the wealthy as the "so-called rich." Wonder what his definition is. He repeats the right-wing trope that higher taxes stifle the economy, despite ample evidence to the contrary, as we saw during the Clinton and Obama administrations. He won't give Biden credit for a booming economy, record low unemployment or a record high stock market. But that's not surprising. If Biden could walk on water, Forbes would say 'See, he can't swim!'
Good balance relative to the last guest. US economy has shed 1.87 M jobs in the last 3mos, most since the GFC. Forbes = nail meets head.

Let the campaign officially begin! Or didn't it start about 3-1/2 years ago?
