Episode Description

With the midterms just 5 weeks away, the economy is at the top of many voters' minds. With diesel prices at record highs and consumer sentiment falling even lower, the party in power -- the Republicans -- have a nearly impossible task before them if they want to keep control of Congress.  President Trump thinks he has a solution, at least for bringing the price of diesel down. But economists are sounding a warning, saying it doesn't work the way he thinks. For more on the state of the economy ahead of the elections, Greg and Holly speak with Dr. Michael Kofoed, associate professor of economics at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.
