Rick Reid is an economics instructor at Fox Valley Technical College and he joins the show to help put the very nuanced top if US Economics into terms we can understand. Recently, President Trump has been suggesting that The Fed Chair Jerome Powell should lower interest rates to help boost economic growth and Rick tells us why this probably isn't the greatest move for us. And even though it's Wednesday, it's never too late to enjoy some Weather And Wine with Civic Media's Meteorologist Brittney Merlot and guess what? Fall maybe be soon, but Summer's not done yet. Finally...we've had a good time, right? That's what we thought, so let's treat ourselves to This Shouldn't Be A Thing - Dumpus Eliminatus Edition.
