Agenda: shrimping, housing, deficits
We look ahead at this week in news. It’s the official beginning of shrimping season in Louisiana; Russia’s grain embargo has just taken effect; the Obama administration tries to figure out how to approach mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; a judge’s ruling effectively bans planting genetically modified sugar beets; and the Congressional Budget Office will release its budget outlook.
Charlie Herman, economics editor for The Takeaway and WNYC Radio and Jason Stallman, national news editor for The New York Times, join us as we look ahead to this week’s news.
