Scott Kesterson on Trump Accounts: “It’s so easy to get people distracted, and we’re not looking at the real core of what’s going on.”
WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS
Scott Kesterson looks behind three stories from this week: the Oval Office event for Trump Accounts, the $9.7 billion Pentagon software contract held by Dell, and the deal to bring Russian diesel to world markets. He sets out the account rules, the timing before the November 3 election, and the math on how far the diesel goes. He ties them to his view that a few large companies and the state now control access to markets.
KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED
- What do Trump Accounts do, and who gains from them?
- How does the Dell pledge connect to Dell’s Pentagon contract?
- How far does 4.8 million tonnes of Russian diesel go against U.S. demand?
