The dangers of fiscal dominance

President Trump wants lower interest rates now, but what could
that mean for the economy? "Marketplace" host Kai Ryssdal speaks
with Neil Irwin at Axios about the implications of Trump's push
to cut rates, and why central banks should stay focused on
stabilizing the economy, not helping the government manage its
debt. Also on the show: One of the pieces passed in the GOP's
sweeping budget bill was a measure that would end taxes on tips
and overtime. We look at who qualifies and who doesn't. And
later, how companies are viewing the cost and importance of
business travel.
