Topics
David Schweikert: 当前的通货膨胀危机是多重因素造成的，包括民主党政府的巨额支出、劳动力市场结构性问题以及人口老龄化。他认为，解决通货膨胀需要同时采取紧缩货币政策和刺激经济增长措施，包括通过税收优惠政策鼓励储蓄和提高生产力，以及放松对技术的管制。他还强调了医疗保健成本的激增对美国债务和经济增长的负面影响，并主张通过医疗技术革命来降低医疗保健成本。他批评了民主党政府的经济政策，认为这些政策导致了贫困人口的增加，并损害了美国储蓄。 Matt Becker: 他认为，支持小型企业是控制通货膨胀的关键，小型企业需要获得资金、医疗福利和退休计划，才能与大型企业竞争。他还批评了银行在向小型企业提供贷款方面的做法，并建议国会重视美国小型企业管理局（SBA）的作用，提高其影响力。他认为，美联储加息是控制通货膨胀的必要措施，但存在风险。他还指出，政府刺激计划被用来为大量政府支出做掩护，最终由小型企业和个人承担。 Sam Stone: 他表达了对通货膨胀持续时间和严重程度的担忧，认为它将导致贫富差距扩大，并对医疗保健、住房等多个领域产生负面影响。他还讨论了人口老龄化、劳动力市场问题以及移民政策等问题对经济的影响。 Chuck Warren: 他与Sam Stone一起主持节目，并参与了对嘉宾观点的讨论。 David Schweikert: The current inflation crisis is caused by multiple factors, including the Democratic government's massive spending, structural problems in the labor market, and an aging population. He believes that addressing inflation requires taking both contractionary monetary policies and stimulating economic growth measures, including encouraging savings and improving productivity through tax incentives, and relaxing regulations on technology. He also highlighted the negative impact of the surge in healthcare costs on US debt and economic growth, and advocated for a healthcare technology revolution to reduce healthcare costs. He criticized the economic policies of the Democratic government, arguing that these policies have led to an increase in the poverty population and damaged US savings. Matt Becker: He believes that supporting small businesses is key to controlling inflation, and that small businesses need access to capital, healthcare benefits, and retirement plans to compete with large corporations. He also criticized banks' practices in providing loans to small businesses, and suggested that Congress should attach importance to the role of the US Small Business Administration (SBA) and increase its influence. He believes that the Fed's interest rate hike is a necessary measure to control inflation, but there are risks. He also pointed out that government stimulus plans were used to cover up a lot of government spending, which ultimately falls on small businesses and individuals. Sam Stone: He expressed concerns about the duration and severity of inflation, believing that it will lead to a widening gap between the rich and the poor, and have a negative impact on healthcare, housing, and other areas. He also discussed the impact of population aging, labor market issues, and immigration policies on the economy. Chuck Warren: He co-hosted the show with Sam Stone and participated in the discussion of the guests' views.
