Steve is a close friend and, as I wrote in this column, my hero. This is Steve's second Economics Matters podcast. The first was taped last year when Steve was running for President in the Republican primaries. Unfortunately, the press was more interested in name calling than Fixing America. I capitalized fixing America because that's the name of a wrenching, but hopeful film Steve made in 2011. The film, unfortunately, appears to be timeless. I strongly recommend you watch it. It will turn your stomach and fill your heart.
In this podcast, Steve and I discuss Trump's first 30 days and what they may mean for the months and years to come.
WARNING. If you love Trump, this podcast may not be for you. But you'll be hearing from a Republican who differs far more with the way Trump is following through on his mandate than the mandate itself. Also, Steve is simply brilliant. It was that brilliance that led him to escape abject poverty, get a scholarship at Bowdoin College, get a scholarship at Harvard Business School, and turn a failing Tennessee bank into an incredible financial success story.
Steve has a big brain (measured somehow), but an even bigger heart. After a spectacular, albeit short banking career, Steve decided to give back. He returned to impoverished Cranston, RI, where he grew up, ran for mayor, and, over two terms, restored the city to financial solvency. Rudi Gulliani has been called America's Mayor. But that title belongs to Steve Laffey and all the authentic mayors who have given back and are giving back to our nation.
Here's a more detailed description of Steve's background.
Economic Matters - The podcast is hosted by Laurence Kotlikoff, a Boston University Economist, a NY Times Best Selling Author, President of maxifi.com, and Author of Money Magic.
