maria: brian brenberg, jump in. el flights very easily, reschedule. all that friction, all that cost went away. will i have to bid that good-bye now that travel is coming back? >> i don't think so, not immediately. i think a lot of airlines and destinations are going to give travelers much needed flexibility so people start booking in confidence again. maria: james? james: thanks. francesca, we think of florida in in the u.s. as a place where people are free to live their lives. are there other destinations where restrictions are relatively light at this point, where you can enjoy a vacation as you normally would? >> well, we know the quarantine rules and enforcement of those rules vary widely across the country. some states are allowing visitors in without quarantining if they also have a negative test of covid-19 taken within three days of arrival. because it takes longer than three days to get results in many testing sites around the country, officials may want visitors to quarantine before they get proof of a neg

brian brenberg, jump in here?m, david mentioned a second ago what's going to come next after the covid stimulus bill, probably $2 trillion in infrastructure spending later this year. so when you start to add that on top of what looks like is going to pass very shortly in the house and be signed by the president, my question is, is the market actually underestimating the risk here of inflation and higher interest rate. it seems to me that you can make the case that we haven't even gotten to that story yet given how much more spending could come this year. tom, your thoughts on that. >> no, you're absolutely right. we are surveying financial advisers every week and they are feeling this inflation trade in a big way when the fed is signaling that it's not something to be concerned about. so we are seeing shifts into those areas. as you mentioned, infrastructure, solar, something that biden is strong about, we will see more money shifting into those areas at the same time i think it's really important not to disregard

maria: brian brenberg we're talking about good expectations for the economy as well brian 9% gdp growthwhat nancy lazzaro is looking for 2021. >> i love those bullish projections i'm a little worried speaking of the wall of worry about what's going to happen with taxes this year. combined with that inflation story, i mean, we just saw this week the story of that 400,000 dollar threshold supposed to be all of a sudden cut in half that's a increase of taxes that don't just hit the rich but everyone curious if you think about higher gas tax and mile challenge and income taxes coming down to lower threshold corporate taxes and that on top linda does that not have you a little bit worried? >> yeah sure has us worried i think that will be a fabulous next topic once we decide that the tenure can settle in around 2% the market gets use of that on tenure. that inflation is not a big deal let's look over at taxes. the thing about taxes is -- president biden told us even as he was running what hen played tods. so it is already in the market if you will. and perhaps, possibly, possibly the savings

brian brenberg joins us now. i wish i had professors like you when i was in school. ellen is telegraphing. it seems to me this goes beyond the known tax hikes that the president considered during the campaign, the hike in the top the rate, the hike in the corporate rate to 28% from 21%. this goes beyond that. how much, do you suspect? >> well, i think janet yellen's having to leave everything open because the fact is when it comes to raising taxes, the initiative really isn't with the white house, it's really9 with the senate, with folks like bernie sanders, elizabeth warren. i think they're the ones who are going to provide the energy for anything the administration decides to go after, and that includes things like a wealth tax. so i think janet yellen is trying to manage things. she knows she has a congress that's very interested in going very progressive on tax hikes, she has a white house who's trying to not fall into that messaging at least. she's stuck in the middle, and she knew she would be from day one. so when i hear her speaking about this, i really hear h

what does our economist, brian brenberg think about that? he joins us now.our teeth there, brian. what is your response? >> no. we don't need tax increases to fund spending that we don't need, stuart. notice all this starts with the dubious assumption we need to spend 3 trillion more dollars this year. we don't. we haven't spent a trillion from last year. we just got two trillion more on top of it. so if you debunk the premise that we need the spending, you get rid of the conclusion we need higher taxes. stuart: yeah. >> on the income inequality, question, stuart, pre-pandemic we were really doing great work on inequality question. median income was up. poverty rates were down. unemployment was down. wages were up. you want to fight inequality, grow the economy. don't spend a bunch of government money. this is not a economic argument. she is not making a economic argument. she is making a political argument. stuart: just trying to get there. it is a political argument. the left wants to reduce inequality because they're jealous of wealth and they don't like

brian brenberg joins us, professor of economics at king's college in manhattan., let me get this off-- let me get this off my chest for a start i think this $1.9 trillion deal is nothing more than a huge slush fund to be used by the left to implement neo- socialist policies for years to come. let me move on from there. how many other trillion dollar stimulus package are going to come out of this in a few years time >> that's the question. i think we will have at least one more this year, stuart. this covid relief the bill is the new model. this is the new governing model, write a big bill that no one can read and also cash and keep the president away from reporters. that is working to get one-- worked wonderfully for democrats and they will do it again with the infrastructure bill. you are correct, if you can spend money in the press won't ask any tough questions which means you mark of people have no idea what's even in the bill, you can get almost anything done especially if you are willing at any moment to throw the filibuster out the window. it would shock me
