Terry Gross interviewed Economist Douglas Holtz-Eakin yesterday on Fresh Air. Holtz-Eakin was the former director of the Congressional Budget Office and is now joining the Council on Foreign Relations.

In the interview yesterday, he did a great job of explaining the budget process, the cost of various important programs like Social Security and Medicare / Medicaid, and how both tax cuts and the cost of the war measure up in relation to the rest of the economy.
