Podcasts about american families plan

Friends,For nearly two decades, major corporations have touted principles known as E.S.G. (short for environmental, social, and governance factors), ostensibly by focusing their businesses on these concerns as well as on profits.But now Republicans are taking aim at this approach, calling it “woke capitalism” and using it to demonstrate that Democrats and progressives are trying to impose their views on the rest of society.In other words, the fight over E.S.G. is extending America's culture war into the C-suites of big American corporations. On Wednesday, Senate Republicans, helped by two Democratic defectors, voted to block a Labor Department rule allowing retirement plan managers to include E.S.G. considerations in their investment plans. The vote is likely to draw President Biden's first veto.Republicans are right about E.S.G. — but for the wrong reason.  The problem with E.S.G. isn't woke capitalism. It's corporate capitalism. Corporate money has corrupted American politics so much that our democracy cannot effectively deal with environmental and social concerns.CEOs and pension fund managers who tout their records on E.S.G. are engaged in a kind of social greenwashing — designed to burnish their brands and attract investors (including retirees) who want to believe they're doing good while they're also doing well.  But most of this is baloney. Investors don't want to do good at the expense of doing well. They're unwilling to sacrifice shareholder returns to advance their environmental and social values. They want high returns and they want environmental and social goals. But they can't have both. They'd do more good by donating to nonprofits seeking to protect the environment and advance the social causes in which they believe. Corporations and institutional investors won't deviate from maximizing short-term profits and shareholder returns unless they are required to do so by law. And even then, only when the penalty for violating the law multiplied by the probability of getting caught is higher than the profits from continuing with the illegality.When I was secretary of labor, big corporations would violate laws on worker safety, wages and hours, and pensions whenever doing so was cheaper than obeying the law. And they'd fight like hell against such laws to begin with, all the while telling the public what wonderful citizens they were.The soothing corporate and Wall Street talk about E.S.G. is designed to forestall such laws by creating the false impression that corporations are already doing what needs to be done for the environment or social issues, so there's no need for more laws or regulations.In 2019, the Business Roundtable — one of Washington's most prestigious corporate groups — issued a widely publicized statement expressing “a fundamental commitment” to the wellbeing of “all of our stakeholders” (emphasis in the original), including employees, communities, and the environment. The statement was widely hailed as marking a new era of E.S.G.Since then, the Roundtable and its members have issued jejune statements about all they've done to reverse climate change and alleviate poverty.Not incidentally, these were priorities in President Biden's “American Families Plan” and “Inflation Reduction Act.” But the Business Roundtable didn't lobby for these bills. It lobbied against them. Hypocrisy? Only if you believed the Roundtable rubbish about corporate social responsibility and E.S.G. in the first place. The pressures on companies to maximize their profits and share values — social responsibility and E.S.G. be damned — are coming from shareholders, top executives (whose pay is linked to stock performance), and retirement plan managers, even those who tout their commitment to E.S.G.It's tempting to chalk this up to “greed,” but neither corporations nor retirement plans are capable of such emotions. They aren't people, no matter what the Supreme Court says. They're bundles of contracts. The specific people who enter those contracts on behalf of corporations, shareholders, and retirees have no interest or expertise in the environment or in any particular social issues. They're simply doing what they understand to be their jobs — maximizing shareholder value.If we want these transactions to be better aligned with public needs rather than private profits, laws must demand this, and penalties for violating laws must be increased. Corporate taxes must rise to fund public investments in non-fossil fuels and social safety nets. Regulations must be strengthened to protect the public.But laws and regulations won't do any of this if corporations continue to spend vast sums on politics.The most telling trends over the last three decades have been the growing share of the economy going into corporate profits — generating ever-greater compensation packages for top executives and ever-higher payouts for investors — and the declining share going to most Americans as wages and salaries.Much of the reason is the vast increases in corporate and Wall Street money flowing into the campaigns of lawmakers who cut corporate taxes, enact corporate subsidies, and block or dilute regulations.The divisive blather over E.S.G. is simply masking these trends.The most socially responsible action pension plans and corporations can take to allay environmental and social problems is to refrain from putting money into politics and to support campaign finance reform.What do you think?

In this episode of The Embracing Only podcast Joyal Mulheron talks about her traumatic experience that led to her purposeful vision of creating a Global system that supports anyone who has lost a loved one. Death is an affliction that will affect us all. Joyal's purpose is to provide support to those who need it most, when they need it most. In this episode she shares with us the startling statistics around death and the impact it has on the living. She dissects this often unspoken affliction and helps us understand why we need to focus on bereavement. She also shares with us tips on how to execute on our goals. She has three key takeaways: Be Brave, Be Defensible, Keep Going. We celebrate all the work she is doing especially most recently garnering bi-partisan support in 2020 and advancing a bereavement care provision to the US FY21 United States budget. Most notably, in 2021, she led a coalition that successfully included paid bereavement leave in President Biden's American Families Plan. Her work has been featured in Good Morning America, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, USA Today and others.

U.S. officials and cybersecurity experts have linked the attack to a Russian-speaking criminal gang known as DarkSide, believed to be based in Eastern Europe. DarkSide, which has said it has broken into networks on more than 80 companies dating back to August 2020, claims to be an experienced team of ransomware creators that previously made millions of dollars infecting victim networks. DarkSide also claims to engage in extortion, threatening to publicly publish data belonging to its victims if they don't pay the ransom. The hackers have said they are willing to sell inside information about publicly traded companies if these companies refuse to meet their ransom demands. Ransomware is a type of cyberattack that locks up a victim's computer systems and demands payment from a victim to have the files released. Payments are usually made with cryptocurrency. Good news! People vaccinated against Covid-19 can go without masks indoors and outdoors, CDC says https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/10/politics/hhs-transgender-healthcare-protections-biden-administration/index.html Play video clip.  Play this clip and start at the 3:58min mark: https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2021/05/12/cdc-director-cant-give-data-showing-its-unsafe-for-vaccinated-people-to-unmask-says-guidance-will-be-updated-very-soon/ Biden Tweet regarding Uber and Lyft: “We're working hard to ensure transportation is less of a barrier when it comes to getting a COVID-19 vaccine. And I'm excited to share that starting May 24th, Uber and Lyft will offer everyone in America free rides to vaccination sites.” Inflation Concerns Grow as Biden and the Democrats Don't Understand Basic Math https://dailycaller.com/2021/05/12/joe-biden-spending-inflation-hidden-tax-everything-purchase-coronavirus/ According to the Daily Caller: “President Joe Biden's relief package may not be the primary contributor to the rise in prices witnessed in recent weeks, experts say, his administration has proposed a $2.3 trillion American Jobs Plan and $1.8 trillion American Families Plan, which could pump an unprecedented $6.1 trillion into the economy in under two years.” But here is the thing. Within 12 months Congress passed $5T in stimulus packages. And this was because the government told you to stop working. Now math-ignoraumous Biden is proposing $6T in more spending this year. Here is how inflation works. Inflation is basically the result of having more dollars in the economy than goods. More cash to play with and fewer goods to purchase, price will inevitably go up. But what we have done this last year is self-inflicted inflation. The government told everybody to stop working, killing supply chains, and then the dumped a bunch of money into businesses they shutdown and into our bank accounts, and then add that to the long term unemployment benefits that everyone is getting to not go back to work, and we get the perfect formula for the spike in inflation we are seeing. It could be short term, but having the Biden economic incompetence in the drivers seat, I dont think it is going to be short term. Don't get me wrong, Republicans are to blame just as much as the Democrats in all this.  Closing This is Gabriel Rench with Crosspolitic News.

Biden tax plan is getting updated, but will it even pass?In this episode, Trishul and Aaron discuss updates to the Biden tax plan as it makes its way through Congress. Most of the changes target the top 1% of income earners. For example, there's talk of increases to income taxes, capital gains taxes, corporate taxes, and even estate taxes. But will any of this even make a dent in the pockets of billionaires? While Biden is trying to target income inequality, his plan does little to address wealth inequality. So Trishul outlines one radical idea that could change everything.Episode ReferencesMMS #67: Biden Tax Plan proposalMMS #77: Mega Backdoor Roth 401kMMS #86: True Tax Rate of wealthiest AmericansMMS #37: How the rich never pay a dollar in taxesMMS #38: The US tax system is screwing you overKitces.com: Analyzing Biden's New "American Families Plan" Tax ProposalProPublica: Peter Thiel's $5B Roth IRAProPublica: How the Wealthy Avoid TaxesAmerica's Billionaire's Pay an Average Income Tax of 8.2%WSJ: What Peter Thiel's Roth IRA Means for YoursBiden Backs Tax on Billionaires Unrealized GainsThermal RunawayDemocrats Seeking $3.5T DealTax BracketsHead of HouseholdPodcast DescriptionWelcome to The Mind Money Spectrum Podcast where your hosts Aaron Agte and Trishul Patel go beyond traditional finance questions to help you explore how to use your money to achieve the freedom you want in life.

Like the American Rescue Plan that passed in March, this new plan is revolutionary in the ways it will support families (free tuition for three- and four-year-olds, wraparound care, and tax cuts) and invest in early childhood education (teacher preparation programs and wages increases). In the months ahead, the actual text of a bill will be drafted and proposed in the Congress. This bill text will be the result of behind-the-scenes negotiations by the Biden administration, various congressional offices, and assorted advocates. We expect that the text of the plan will mirror what the White House has already proposed and that it may, as well, include select details from other ECE and families plans that have been proposed, such as the Childcare for Working Families Act, the Childcare as Infrastructure Act, and the Universal Child Care and Early Learning Act. CCDBG - fact checks + summary:Federal Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) funding allows states to provide child care subsidies for low-income families with children under 13.The majority of funds serve children under 5, with the remainder supporting care for children ages 5-13 while they are not in school. These subsidies help remove barriers to affordable, high-quality child care—whether in the center- or home-based settings. Further, the law allows states to pair state and federal funds to improve access and quality of child care available to families within existing state and local systems. In this way, CCDBG plays a critical role in ensuring young children are accessing the high-quality early learning experiences that support their healthy development and prepare them for kindergarten while their parents work or attend school.Check out our sponsor, American Jewish University to find out how you can get the credentials you need to go farther in your ECE career!

On September 13, the House Ways and Means Committee and the Joint Committee on Taxation released drafts of proposed tax legislation and estimated budget effects of taxes under the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill.  Many of the provisions in the draft legislation are familiar from President Biden's American Families Plan and American Jobs Plan and Treasury's Green Book released earlier this year.    In this session, Cherry Bekaert's Tax Beat hosts, Brooks and Sarah, walk through highlights of the draft legislation including proposed tax rate changes and the taxpayers who may be impacted.  They also discuss surprises in the draft bill that were not mentioned in the earlier proposals from President Biden, and the effective dates for various provisions.  To close out the discussion, Brian Dill, partner and leader of the Firm's International Tax Practice Team, joins in for a discussion of the proposed legislative changes to FDII, GILTI, foreign tax credits and other tax provisions impacting companies operating within and outside of the U.S.   Chapter Marks:01:30     Background – legislative process - $1.2 T infrastructure08:02     Tax rate changes (effective for tax years beginning after 12/31/2021)11:13     Capital gains (generally effective for transactions on or after September 13, 2021) 14:42     Taxing income from a pass-through business (effective for tax years beginning after 12/31/2021)20:01     Estates and trusts (generally effective for estates and gifts arising after 12/31/2021)22:25     Mega-IRAs (generally effective for tax years beginning after 12/31/2021)24:39     Other Selected Provisions26:30     International Tax Provisions

Tax changes would be potentially catastrophic for farm families, and it's an issue that affects every American. National Cattlemen's Beef Association Senior Executive Director of Government Affairs Danielle Beck talks to Chrissy Wozniak about the developments. Last week NCBA released a letter to House Ways and Means and Senate Finance Committee urging them to consider the implications that changes to federal tax policy will have on family-owned agricultural businesses.Nearly 330 trade associations representing family-owned food, agriculture and related businesses agree that, when drafting legislation to implement President Biden's "Build Back Better" agenda, it is critical that the “American Families Plan” must also support family farms and ranches. “Congress must consider the complex structure of family-owned agricultural businesses that serve as the backbone of rural economies; therefore, understand how changes to long-standing provisions in the tax code could be detrimental to the financial viability of these businesses as they transfer to the next generation,” said Senior Executive Director of Government Affairs Danielle Beck.“This is not a partisan issue; in fact, it's an issue that affects every single American. With more than 370 million acres expected to change hands in the next two decades, preserving long-standing provisions in the federal tax code is a win-win situation for producers and consumers alike. Whether their family has preserved the land for generations, or they are a beginning, veteran or minority farmer getting their start in the industry – without federal tax policy that supports a viable business climate for the next generation of producers, building on the environmental and economic contributions of today's producers is impossible and risks compromising our nation's ability to produce a safe, abundant and affordable food supply. The consequences of taxing family farms and ranches out of business completely undermines the 'Build Back Better' agenda.”To learn more visit the National Cattlemen's Beef Association's website at https://www.ncba.org.This episode is sponsored by GAPS Ontario, your phosphorus solutions partner.

During the 2021-22 school year, every child across the U.S. will have access to free school meals, a result of flexibilities issued through the USDA. Yet for years, students have been served tons of foods that are loaded with excess, added sugars—things like chocolate milk, cereal, and condiments. Even more concerning is that some of the foods can exceed a child's entire day's worth of added sugars.  In this episode, I sat down with Colin Schwartz, MPP, Deputy Director of Federal Affairs at the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Schwartz works on nutrition policy and advocacy and has conducted research about school meals and added sugars in school foods. We talked about what parents can expect this year with school meals, how much sugar kids are actually consuming, what parents need to know about “copycat foods,” and what they can do to advocate for healthier options.   Welcome  3:18 Now that we're heading into the new school year, are many of the COVID-19 waivers still in place and what should parents expect? 4:33 What work are you and the Center for Science in the Public Interest doing to move Universal School Meals forward? 7:03 This year, California and Maine decided to offer free school meals. Do you think in the next few months other states will follow suit?  8:30 Will Universal School Meals happen? 9:13 Are the Trump era rollbacks still in place? 11:23 Are schools allowed to serve strawberry and chocolate milk?  15:05 Discussions around the nutrition of school lunch in the U.S. are often focused on sodium, saturated fat, and whole grains but what about added sugars? 18:55 What are the most common school foods that are high in added sugars?  21:13 What are “copycat foods” in school cafeterias?  26:23 Are there groups working to reduce the amount of added sugars in school meals? 27:23 What can parents do if they want—or need to—get school meals and avoid or reduce added sugars? 32:12 What can parents do to advocate for healthier school meals? LINKS MENTIONED IN THE SHOW Colin Schwartz talks about President Biden's American Families Plan and the proposed new nutrition standards.  Colin Schwartz talks about how California adopted universal free school meals and Maine passed a law to provide free school meals through 2023.  Colin Schwartz mentions the 2021 study he co-authored that showed 9 out of 10 schools exceed added sugars in their meals. Colin talks about The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020-2025 recommendations of less than 10 percent of added sugars per day.

In this special episode of the "Voices for Human Needs" podcast, we continue our last discussion on the fight against child poverty, but with a focus on creating greater equity both before, and after a child is born. Our featured speaker is Joy Spencer, the Executive Director of Equity Before Birth, a nonprofit in Durham, North Carolina, and a member of MomsRising. Co-hosts Abigail Alpern Fisch and Leo Nguyen from the Coalition on Human Needs speak with Joy about how she channels her lived experiences as a single mother navigating limited paid leave policies and the lack of child care infrastructure into her professional and community advocacy work on behalf of positive health outcomes for all children and families. Joy's story not only highlights the need to pass critical proposals within the American Families Plan that would expand infrastructure for paid family leave, medical leave, and child care, but also, how such policies will promote greater equity and support all families across the socio-economic spectrum, especially BIPOC parents. Last, but not least, Joy advises listeners on how to connect with other advocates in their communities and utilize storytelling to inform the elected leaders on these needed policies.

This episode of the Tax Beat is part two of reviewing the U.S. Treasury's “General Explanations of the Administration's Fiscal Year 2022 Revenue Proposals” (the “Green Book”). The Treasury report was released on May 28, 2021, and provides details of the tax provisions introduced with the American Jobs Plan and the American Families Plan. Following up on our Green Book, Part One conversation, we discuss what happens next in Congress and what other competing needs must be addressed within a limited number of days that Congress is in session. We also touch on the G7 agreement regarding a minimum tax rate. Finally, we turn our conversation to some good news in the Green Book – new and enhanced tax incentives and credits. Ron Wainwright, Cherry Bekaert's Credits and Accounting Methods Leader joins hosts Brooks and Sarah for this episode.The conversation includes: 4:12: Legislative Update13:30: G7 Agreement for Minimum Tax Rate15:58: Business Incentives20:18: Energy Incentives31:21: R&D Tax Credit Proposed Legislative Changes

In this episode, we dive into what Biden is proposing with the new tax plan, how it may affect business owners, and how you can begin determining what actions make sense for your situation.While nothing has been passed yet, President Biden has proposed the American Families Plan, which would substantially change tax rates for high-income individuals. One aspect of that reform includes increasing the long-term capital gains rates (for those with income over $1 million). Historically, long-term capital-gains (assets held for more than a year) have had preferential tax treatment. Depending on your income, LTCGs are taxed at either 0%, 15%, or 20%. For those lucky enough to have over $500k in income (roughly), Long-Term Capital Gains are taxed at 20%, which is much lower than the Ordinary Income Tax Rates for people at that income level, which could be around 35-37%.So What Is Biden Proposing?The American Families Plan would eliminate the preferential LTCGs rate for those with income over $1 million. Meaning, LTCGs over $1 million would be taxed at their Ordinary Income Tax rate, which could be as high as 39.6% under the new proposal (since Biden is proposing increasing the highest rate from 37% to 39.6%).Find the blog version of this podcast at LuminaryWealth.comOr check out the video version of this podcast on our YouTube channelFollow us on Instagram @luminary.wealthLet's connect on LinkedInDisclaimerThis podcast is not intended to provide financial or tax advice.

The latest large proposal of the Biden administration is The American Families Plan.  The debates in creating this large tax plan are huge, everchanging and cross party lines.  Patti meets with Bill Cass, the Director of Wealth Management for Putnam Investments to discuss the implications of the proposal as it looks now in the summer of 2021.  They discuss the tax law changes that will most likely get passed later this year, as well as the proposed changes that are rumored to be eliminated from the final proposal of the bill before it is passed.  Patti and Bill share how high net worth individuals, corporations and anyone with an estate plan that involves gifting and Trusts will learn a few surprises that may come with the President's new tax proposal.

Beyond seeing history repeat itself time and time again, people advocating for the quality and affordability of childcare has been occurring since the early 1900's.Instead of childcare, the idea of mother pensions came about so that women could stay at home with their children. It quickly gained popular support because it did nothing to challenge traditional gender roles. By the 1930's, every state in the union passed some level of a mother pension law, but by doing this, childcare was pushed further into the shadows. However, most mothers found themselves ineligible for pensions and had no choice but to find work and some form of care for their children.The Children's Bureau worked to strengthen mothers' pensions instead of shifting the focus to childcare. At the urging of prominent early childhood educators, programs were established called emergency nursery schools (ENS) because more women were being recruited to do defense-work due to WWII. Nonetheless, several thousands of these schools closed down because teachers left for better paying jobs. As ENS's closed, women had no choice but to leave their children alone at home or allow them to sleep in cars while they worked night shifts. The media capitalized on these situations and reported "selfish-wage earning mothers" and "children in group care may suffer the effects of maternal deprivation."By 1946, the Maternal and Child Welfare Act was proposed and not passed. It would have allowed the continuing of federal funding for daycares. Instead, the government allotted a Child Tax Deduction. No government administration has been able to push through a universal childcare policy.In the 1980's, for-profit childcares began to emerge as more women began to re-enter the workforce, however there were issues with quality and affordability. This is the underlying theme to this day.So, what does good childcare reform look like? Employing teachers who have knowledge in early childhood education and seeing education and care as a necessary combination is essential. Care providers are early educators.Even if policies are passed on a federal level, each state can take that legislation and alter it accordingly, which excludes specific socioeconomic classes and limits the ability for it to truly be universal. It also perpetuates the achievement gaps between people from high and low income families.Ashley and Kimberly have an extensive discussion on where we go from here, including an overview of the American Families Plan proposed by the Biden administration. They review the facts from a bipartisan perspective with bipartisan resources.Resources:The History of Child Care in the U.S. by Sonya Michel, Ph.D.What does good child care reform look like?

Ohio's senior senator, Sherrod Brown, joins Crain's Cleveland for a discussion on all things government, locally and nationally. We touch base on "going big" with President Biden's focus on infrastructure, and Brown's work on the American Families Plan, which he calls "the highlight of my career."

(Originally aired 5/6/21) President Joe Biden’s has touted the proposed American Families Plan as an investment in our children, our families, and our economic future. Like the American Rescue Plan, which passed in March, and the American Jobs Proposal, currently on the table, the Families Plan has a huge price tag. As you might expect, this is getting a lot of mixed reaction from lawmakers. But we wanted to get Behind the Headlines and take a deeper look at where Utah families are struggling, and what impact the President’s proposal might have.

On this episode we talk about the culture war Republicans are launching against Joe Biden's American Family Plan and specifically how it's related to the ongoing War on Women. Overall, women have lost a net of 5.4 million jobs during the pandemic-induced recession compared with 4.4 million lost by men.

The American Families Plan would cost significantly more than the Biden administration's estimate of $1.8 trillion according to a new analysis by the Penn Wharton Budget Model. But the plan's proposals for free education would help to offset some of those costs in the long run. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Nonprofit News for the week of May 4th, 2021 Democratic Nonprofit Sues Ahead of Potential Redistricting Fight Off the heels of a contentious and troublesome 2020 census, the next political fight shaping up with substantial impact might be redistricting. Acknowledging these tense political battles yet to come, a lawsuit filed by the nonprofit National Redistricting Action Fund, associated with the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, is filing lawsuits in an attempt to make the results of any political impasses fair. While the specifics of the case or complex, nonprofits and advocacy groups should know that redistricting can significantly impact both national and local politics for a decade. Redistricting alone could mean the difference between a Democrat and GOP - controlled House of Representatives, according to experts. The politics of redistricting are such that in most cases, states themselves decide who ends up in a particular district, actively franchising and disenfranchising communities in the process. Read more ➝ Atlanta Girl Scouts Left With $3 Million In Unsold Cookies For local Girl Scouts, the fundraising gap left by nearly 700k+ unsold boxes of cookies could mean the difference between affording to be able to partake in scout-related activities and not being able to do so. The decrease in efficacy of door-to-door selling and other more commercial fundraisers should be a warning to nonprofits that so heavily rely on typically in-person fundraisers, especially during the pandemic.

Mandy abandons the show this week for something actually impactful. Meanwhile, Alex and Jim do the news. Topics include: Joe Rogan being an anti-vax moron, Joe Biden's big ole' American Families Plan proposal, his dem-brain means-tested attempt at tuition-free college, Bernie's College for All plan (which is, of course, a million times better), Mark Zuckerberg evicting native Hawaiians from his newly purchased beach, and India's coronavirus woes. Then we talk something many vets are thinking about: the War-That-Will-Not-End in Afghanistan. While Biden blows off the May 1st troop withdrawal date, and the Taliban prepares to attack coalition bases in reprisal, veterans of Afghanistan are back home trying to make sense of it all. Timothy Kudo captured this sentiment in a bottle with a NY Times opinion piece called "I Fought in Afghanistan. I Still Wonder, Was It Worth It?" Though he hasn't quite figured out yet that WAR IS A RACKET, he still works through his own Hurt Locker Moment, like we all have (or will).

In today's episode of compounding lifestyle, Vegas Vacation, Joe Biden Addressed Congress, CNBC Stock Draft, and Stock Market Earnings Beats. Joe Biden's first address to Congress, Biden spoke about how taxing the rich will help fund his ambitious plans to help low- and middle-income families. The S&P 500 rose to a record high of more than 4,200 just after the aftermarket open. The Dow recovered intraday losses to trade higher by more than 200 points. The Nasdaq also advanced. Traders considered Biden's address to a joint session of Congress late Wednesday, during which he declared that "America is back on the move again" after a pandemic that devastated the U.S. economy and killed hundreds of thousands of individuals across the country. The address also served as a forum for him to tout his $2 trillion infrastructure plan and officially unveil a $1.8 trillion proposal aimed at supporting children, students, and families, and which will be funded in part through tax increases on wealthy Americans. Total federal spending will reach $6 trillion in the coming years with Biden's American Families Plan, the American Rescue Package, and plans to improve the country's infrastructure. The $1.8 trillion American Families Plan includes federal funds targeted at low- and middle-income families, aid to students, and tax cuts. The annual CNBC Stock Draft was held on Thursday. Ten professional investors, athletes, and celebrities each chose two picks from a list of 60 investment ideas. The contest will crown the winner as the team with the highest average return from April 29, 2021, to Feb. 11, 2022, the Friday before the Super Bowl. The list of 60 investments to choose from includes stocks, the Ark Innovation ETF (NYSE: $ARKK), Bitcoin, oil, and gold. Contestants in the 2021 CNBC Stock Draft included Tim Seymour, Stepanie Link, Kevin O'Leary, professional poker player Maria Ho, Olympic gold medalist Ryan Murphy, Twitch streamer, Mentalist Oz Pearlman, model Petra Nemcova, TikToker Josh Richards, and NBA All-Star Andre Iguodala.

As of early Wednesday, companies comprising nearly half of the S&P 500's market capitalization had reported earnings results, with 83% of these corporations topping estimates, and by an average of 21.7%.

Before President Biden gives his address to Congress and the country, Frank and Alex discuss some of the early released information from his 1.8 trillion dollar American Families Plan.

#042 – On this special episode, I pinpoint important elements of the $1.8 trillion plan that president Biden presented today to help American families. There are many elements of this plan that will positively affect high school students who will begin their college careers in the near future. The plan proposes free tuition for the first two years of college, increases to the amount of funds that students will receive through the Pell Grant, and a number of new important services to be offered to students enrolled in community colleges. I will talk about the requirements students need to meet to receive these benefits. Additionally, I will uncover what the plan will do for students eligible for assistance in Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and Minority-Serving Institutions. My hope is that this information gives you a clear idea of the many benefits and advantages you may be presented with soon. You can find the show notes for this episode at https://collegemetropolis.com/42.
