3 Ways to Tackle 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:
-
Reduce tariffs. Cut tariffs and help Americans save money on everything from manufacturing inputs to summertime goods.
-
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.
-
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.
