Joe Biden pledges to boost US on first anniversary of Inflation Reduction Act

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

We discuss Joe Biden plans to boost the US economy through the landmark legislation known as the Inflation Reduction Act. We hear the arguments both for and against its potential to develop green industries in the US. We hear from the man who came up with the term BRICS to describe the economic alliance that binds Brazil, Russia, India and China. The countries came together two decades ago. And Sotherby’s in California is auctioning off twenty vintage Ferraris which came into their possession in a rather bizarre way. Picture: US President Joe Biden salutes audience at the White House.
