"Tariffs of this kind of magnitude always do more damage than good," says Diane Swonk, chief economist at the audit, tax and advisory firm KPMG. Today, we'll get assessments on the economic impacts of the trade war under President Donald Trump in 2018. Plus, we'll learn how a furniture store CEO and carnival operator are navigating tariff-induced uncertainty. And later, we'll hear about the difference that New Mexico's free child care makes for working families.
