The article highlights the chaotic nature of the current news cycle, exemplifying how government decisions, such as tariffs and funding for initiatives like Ebola, are rapidly changing and often contradicting earlier statements. The piece also introduces two key figures in economic policy, namely the Executive Director and Co-Founder of the Budget Lab at Yale, who has extensive experience across various sectors, and Ernie Tedeschi, the Director of Economics at the same lab, who has previously served in significant economic advisory roles, reflecting the intricate dynamics of economic communication and policy-making.
It seems like every day recently, something new lands in the news cycle-sometimes contradicting what was announced a few hours before.
Funding for Ebola has been frozen. No it hasn't. Wait, maybe it has?
Ernie Tedeschi is the Director of Economics at the Budget Lab at Yale. Until March 2024, Ernie was the Chief Economist at the White House Council of Economic Advisers.
She has worked in economic policy and research in the executive branch, the legislative branch, the private-sector, and in philanthropy.
