3 Ways to Tackle Inflation

This week, President Joe Biden wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal laying out his administration’s plan to address inflation. 

Why it matters: Rising costs for housing, food, and energy make it difficult for American families and businesses to get ahead.

Our take: Neil Bradley, Chamber Executive Vice President and Chief Policy Officer, offered three solutions to fight inflation that need to be added to the administration’s agenda:

  1. Reduce tariffs. Cut tariffs and help Americans save money on everything from manufacturing inputs to summertime goods.
  2. Produce more American energy. This can reduce costs for consumers at home and allies around the world. America needs a new five-year leasing plan and the approval of pipelines and energy export facilities.
  3. Fix the worker shortage. There are 11.4 million open jobs. We need to double legal immigration and help expand affordable childcare for American families.

  • Chamber Small Business Council member Mike Zaffaroni, owner of Liberty Landscape Supply in Jacksonville, FL, wrote an op-ed in CNN today on how inflation is impacting small businesses like his.
