Can the government really affect prices on everyday products we buy?

In this episode of Queer Money, we talk with Heather Boushey, one of three members of President Biden's Council of Economic Advisors and Chief Economist for the Investing in America Cabinet. This episode focused on the state of the economy and how the Biden administration plans to tackle rising costs across the board for all Americans.

Boushey offers her perspective on the state of the economy during the pandemic and the recovery that followed. She emphasizes the administration’s focus on creating good jobs and ensuring that markets are fair and competitive, highlighting the importance of growing the economy from the middle out.

She addresses concerns about the cost of housing, especially for millennials and Gen Z, outlining the administration's plan to create more affordable housing options. Boushey also discusses the Biden administration’s efforts to lower healthcare costs, especially for older Americans, by capping insulin costs and negotiating drug prices.

The episode also explores the rising costs of education and the administration’s commitment to tackling student loan debt. Boushey shares her own experiences of receiving gratitude from people who have benefited from student loan forgiveness programs.
