Everyday Americans are feeling the wallop on their wallets from unchecked inflation. From gas prices to food prices, the country is experiencing unprecedented levels of economic woes.
But who is to blame for this disaster?
“I think that there are two co-conspirators in this economic crime. And one is the Biden administration, for spending so much money,” says economist Stephen Moore, a visiting fellow at The Heritage Foundation. “And then the second would be the Fed for being so late to the game in recognizing that this inflation was real and not transitory, and taking steps to combat it.”
Although the government could take steps to address inflation and dodge a recession, Moore says, it’s unlikely that the Biden administration will act properly.
“I think, actually, that if you had the right set of policies put in place, we could avert a recession. We could get back on a good path,” Moore explains. “I think what worries me, and also worries the financial markets, is there’s not a hint out of this White House that they’re going to change strategies. None.”
Moore joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” from Heritage’s recent Resource Bank conference to discuss America’s economy and how we can get back on track.

As the January 6th committee’s hearings continue, the nation is treated to recounting of wild, false claims of election fraud, and outrageous schemes which countenanced blocking or surmounting the duly conducted vote in the electoral college. What was behind those schemes? A so-called theory of “Independent State Legislatures.” What’s that? How would it further the undermining of the electoral process? Is it still a threat? And where did it come from? Here’s one hint that should tell you something about its DNA: it is in large part the residue from the notorious, noxious, nullity that was Bush v. Gore. Professor Amar, and his brother, Dean Vikram Amar, have teamed up to head off this danger to the Republic, through a new article which is already widely acclaimed and cited. Today Akhil and Andy (joined by Vik in subsequent episodes) begin a three-part series that will explain the threat, review the background, and then take it on squarely and decisively.
On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we continue a special summer series of the podcast on Liberalism for All, hosted by Jayme Lemke as she explores the underpinnings and outworkings of a free and open society. Driving the discussion is a set of core questions, including:
Joining Lemke for this episode is Diana Thomas, associate professor of economics at Creighton University and an alum of the Mercatus PhD Fellowship. Thomas begins by detailing what regressive effects are, followed by the manners in which regulations, even those with the best of intentions, tend to create such effects. Additionally, she tackles the issue of public risk reduction strategies, and how these can often end up crowding out private risk reduction strategies. As part of the conversation, Lemke and Thomas both discuss the push for equality, and whether this push is complementary or in tension with the vision of a liberal, free society.
