He expressed that one important goal for his presidency was to be more involved with the regional economy of the 7th District where he traveled extensively upon taking office.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Five States in Six Months: President Goolsbee on His 'Whirlwind' Travels in the District - Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago |url=https://www.chicagofed.org/publications/blogs/chicago-fed-insights/2023/goolsbee-importance-of-travel-in-district |access-date=2024-03-03 |website=www.chicagofed.org |language=en}}</ref>
Goolsbee was early in arguing that the unusual conditions in 2023 could enable an unusual outcome for the Macroeconomy, where inflation would fall dramatically but without causing a major recession. He called this the 'Golden Path' and acknowledged that such an outcome would be without historical precedent but that he believed it was possible because of favorable supply-side developments at this time coupled with the Fed's credibility having kept inflation expectations from rising.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-07-07 |title=Goolsbee Says Fed on Path to Curb Inflation Without Triggering Recession |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-07/goolsbee-says-fed-on-path-to-curb-inflation-without-recession |access-date=2024-03-03 |work=Bloomberg.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=The 2023 Economy: Not Your Grandpa's Monetary Policy Moment - Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago |url=https://www.chicagofed.org/publications/speeches/2023/september-28-peterson-institute |access-date=2024-03-03 |website=www.chicagofed.org |language=en}}</ref>

In January 2011, Goolsbee expressed the administration's confidence that the [[U.S. debt limit]] would be raised, noting that rhetoric from some members of Congress, who suggested the routine increase should be opposed, "[appear] to reflect a deep misunderstanding of the consequences of default".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Levine |first=Deborah |url=http://www.marketwatch.com/story/debt-cap-to-be-raised-obama-adviser-says-2011-01-02 |title=Debt cap to be raised, Obama adviser says |date=January 2, 2011 |website=[[MarketWatch]] |access-date=September 27, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/01/06/AR2011010603244.html | newspaper=The Washington Post | first=Lori | last=Montgomery | title=Raise debt limit to avoid national catastrophe, Geithner warns Congress | date=January 7, 2011}}</ref>
