Summary
We likely all have felt the effects of high gas and grocery prices, but what is the government doing to address inflation?
Policymakers' negligence has left inflation to an overwhelmed Federal Reserve, a move that resulted in disaster in the 1970s.
Four Heritage Foundation policy experts—Rachel Greszler, Katie Tubb, Peter St. Onge, and Daren Bakst—recently gathered to discuss the core factors driving inflation and what Congress and the Biden administration need to do to fight rising costs. Today on "The Daily Signal Podcast," we share their insights on how policymakers can act to curb inflation. (The Daily Signal is the multimedia news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)
Also on today's show, we explain what you need to know about the 49th annual March for Life taking place Friday in Washington.
We also cover these stories:
- New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, announces that National Guard units will receive certification to work as substitute teachers and child care workers, to fill holes left by COVID-19 infections.
- President Joe Biden responds to criticism after making comments that seemed to imply a minor incursion by Russia in Ukraine would not be met with severe consequences.
- The National Collegiate Athletic Association announces changes to its transgender athlete policy to follow a sport-by-sport model.
Enjoy the show!
