Voters want instant relief, but America’s economic challenges require long-term solutions. On “The Opinions,” the Bulwark editor Catherine Rampell joins the economist Natasha Sarin to discuss how the economy is factoring into the midterm elections — and why politicians often promise “rainbows and ponies.” That may sound appealing on the campaign trail, but it risks making problems worse. “You don’t win on a platform of: This will make the cost of living better 10 years from now,” Rampell explains. “If you have one party that is offering immediate gratification in the form of policy solutions and the other party that is tethered to reality, the party that is tethered to reality is at a disadvantage.” | 🎥 Dani Dillion #theopinions #nytopinion
