The 2024 Election And Your Wallet

  • Summary

  • We are right on the eve of what is going to be a truly pivotal election. And this year, more than many others, it seems there's a unique urgency in the air. At least part of that is because each candidate has pledged to make changes to critical facets of American life — including to our personal finances. Catherine Rampell, nationally syndicated opinion columnist at the Washington Post, joins us to dissect the issues and how the 2024 election can impact the broader financial system (and our personal economies). CHAPTERS: 00:00 Understanding Voter Awareness and Candidate Platforms 02:59 Inflation: Candidates' Influence and Economic Policies 09:05 Price Gouging and Its Implications 12:03 Student Loan Proposals and Their Impact 14:54 Social Security: Candidates' Stances and Future Challenges 18:08 Tax Policies and Their Economic Implications 21:01 Stock Market Trends and Candidate Influence TAKEAWAYS: Inflation remains a top concern for American voters but Presidents have limited control over inflation and price levels. The Federal Reserve's independence is vital for economic stability. Student loan proposals vary significantly between candidates. Social Security faces financial challenges regardless of the elected candidate. Tax policies proposed by candidates could have long-term economic implications. Stock market performance is influenced by various factors beyond presidential control. Learn more about our Finance Fixx program here. Use code PODCAST for a $100 discount.
