Summary

Want to understand what’s going on right now? We talk to Bharat about about inflation, the economy and all the things the Biden Administration is doing under the radar while the Republicans blame them for all the country’s woes. I promise this is actually a very hopeful episode. I know it doesn’t feel hopeful right now, with the prices so high and the corporate greed so rapid but, the National Economic Council is on it and the amount they’ve accomplished is incredibly positive. We just need to give the Democrats more power in the midterms to get more of their bills passed and we can definitely do that.
