Maggie Daun dives into the economic chaos promised by Trump's proposed tariffs, labeling them as 'stupid economics' that threaten to hurt the middle class, particularly in Wisconsin's manufacturing sectors like auto and construction. Maggie and Dan Shafer, Civic Media’s Political Editor, unpack the potential fallout, including increased gas prices and the threat of a trade war with Mexico and Canada. They draw parallels to NAFTA’s impact on American politics and manufacturing suggesting Biden's policies may have done more for the Midwest than Trump's ever did. Maggie and Dan also critique the GOP's stance on education funding, with Assembly Speaker Robin Voss dismissing the need for increased spending and suggesting local referendums instead. They argue this approach neglects rural schools and exacerbates inequities. Maggie also shares insights from a racial justice conference she attended, emphasizing the continued fight for economic and racial equity despite political setbacks. The episode closes with a call to recognize the enduring impact of historical policies on today's inequities and the critical need for fair funding in public education. It's a charged discussion on the intersection of economic policy and social justice.
