It's time for our daily chat with KCBS Insider Phil Matier, hosted by KCBS Radio news anchor Steve Scott. Governor Gavin Newsom says President Trump and his administration's policies are to blame for a good chunk of the 12 billion dollar shortfall in the state budget. The governor unveiled his May revise today, calling for cutbacks to health insurance for undocumented migrants.

Governor Gavin Newsom has attributed California’s $12 billion budget deficit to what he calls the “Trump Slump,” citing former President Donald Trump’s tariff policies, volatile markets, and reduced tourism as key causes. In his revised $332 billion budget, Newsom warned that Trump-era economic uncertainty could cost the state up to $16 billion in revenue. “California is under assault,” he said, defending cuts to health programs and climate initiatives. Critics, including Republican lawmakers, dismissed the blame as political deflection, accusing Newsom of reckless spending and mismanagement.

At the beginning of April, Austin City Council learned that they'd be facing a $33.4 million budget deficit that's only expected to get larger. Meanwhile, council members finally made a plan to accept $32 million in grant money to replace the bridge over Barton Springs, and add a cool $8 million of the city's own. Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Amy Stansbury, editor-in-chief of The Austin Common, to talk about all that — plus why outreach teams are crucial to the city's homelessness response, what we're doing with a new batch of EPA money, the future for historic Palm Park, and a new AC rule that will keep all Austinites cool this summer.  Learn more about the sponsors of this April 30th episode: Aura Frames - Get $35-off plus free shipping on the Carver Mat frame with Promo Code CITYCAST Visit Port Aransas Want some more Austin news?

In this episode of the Must Read Alaska Show, host Ben Carpenter—former legislator and combat veteran—moderates a deep dive into Alaska's long-standing fiscal challenges with guests Senator Mike Shower and Representative Kevin McCabe. The conversation revolves around the state's structural budget deficit, the volatility of oil revenues, and the erosion of the original intent behind the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD). Together, the lawmakers explore the urgent need for a comprehensive fiscal plan, including spending caps, government downsizing, and potential tax reforms. They caution against continued reliance on federal funds and the Permanent Fund, warning that a government unaccountable to its citizens threatens individual liberty. The episode is a candid, sometimes sobering, discussion on the lack of political will and leadership, the influence of public sector unions, and the uphill battle to re-engage Alaskans in the governance of their state.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, guest Amber Phillips returns to analyze President Trump's recent address to Congress and the implications of his administration's actions. Jessica and Amber explore the partisan nature of the speech and the administration's reliance on executive orders, notably within the Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOGE). They discuss the effects on the federal workforce, address questions surrounding the budget process, and examine entitlements. Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:Trump's Speech and Approach: The episode begins with a discussion about Trump's address to Congress. Both Amber and Jessica noted how the speech resembled more of a campaign rally than a traditional State of the Union address. They observed Trump's lack of engagement with Congress and his focus on executive orders to achieve his goals.Executive Orders vs. Congressional Legislation: Amber and Jessica explore why the Trump administration is relying heavily on executive orders despite having Republican control in Congress. They discuss the challenges of legislation and the perceived ease of presenting executive orders as actions to the public.Budget and Economic Implications: The speakers delved into the budgetary impacts of the Trump administration's policies, especially concerning cuts in government spending and workforce. They raised concerns about the broader economic consequences, such as potential unemployment and doubts about genuine savings versus necessary spending.Follow Our Host and Guest: @LevinsonJessica@byamberphillips

After sending congratulations to the Super Bowl champion Eagles, today we dive into a dense and important topic: the U.S. federal debt. There's a lot of fear and misinformation around this issue, so we break down what the numbers really mean and how they compare to history.Alex kicks things off by clarifying key terms. A deficit occurs when the government spends more than it brings in during a given year. The debt is the accumulation of all past deficits, minus any surpluses. The U.S. has run a deficit in 46 of the last 50 years, meaning it consistently spends more than it collects in revenue. To cover these shortfalls, the government borrows money by selling treasury securities to investors, institutions, and foreign governments. The debt's significance is often measured against the country's total economic output—its debt-to-GDP ratio—which has averaged about 64% since 1939 but has spiked dramatically at key moments in history.We've seen two major surges in debt-to-GDP: during World War II, when it reached 120%, and during COVID-19, when emergency spending pushed it to 125%. While this ratio has come down slightly since the pandemic, it remains historically high. Similarly, the deficit-to-GDP ratio, which measures the size of the annual shortfall relative to economic output, has averaged 3.4% over time but ballooned to around 6.4% in recent years.Ed walks us through the current numbers. As of 2025, the U.S. total debt stands at $36.2 trillion, with about $28.9 trillion held by the public and $7.3 trillion held by government programs like Social Security. Given that GDP is around $29 trillion, our debt-to-GDP ratio sits at 120%, nearly double its long-term average. The U.S. ran a $1.8 trillion deficit in 2024 and is on track for a similar shortfall in 2025. Experts believe a sustainable deficit level should be closer to 3% of GDP, meaning we'd need to close a $1 trillion annual gap through tax increases, spending cuts, or a mix of both.A common concern we address is the idea that foreign nations “own” the U.S. through debt holdings. In reality, only about 23% of U.S. debt is held by foreign countries, with Japan and China being the largest holders. However, they invest in U.S. debt not to control us but because U.S. treasuries are among the safest assets in the world.So, should we be panicking? Not necessarily. As Ed reminds us, people have been warning about a debt crisis for decades. Ross Perot famously made it a central issue of his 1992 presidential campaign when the debt was just $4 trillion.  And yes, we may have detoured for a moment into Ross Perot and "Dana Carvey doing Ross Perot" impressions.Today's debt and deficit numbers are bigger, but so is the U.S. economy. While the current trajectory isn't sustainable forever, it's not an immediate crisis either—more of an issue that will need to be addressed over time.If you're wondering how these macroeconomic trends impact your personal financial planning, feel free to reach out.

“The biggest policy hurdle” is government spending and the budget deficit, rather than the trade deficit, says Barry Knapp. He thinks DOGE's efforts are less important than Congress's in that regard. He says ‘don't touch' the consumer staples and healthcare sectors, but says not to bet against American innovation in the tech sector.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

https://coloradosun.com/2025/01/09/2025-colorado-state-of-the-state-annotated/ Today - Colorado's 2025 legislative session is underway and our politics team is hard at work chasing down what lawmakers will be doing at the Capitol this year. While they're getting acclimated, we're revisiting the conversation Jesse and Brian recorded in November about the big budget deficit facing the state. The budget will be one of the biggest issues at the General Assembly in the coming months. And while the deficit may have shrunk slightly since November when their conversation first aired, big cuts are still needed. https://friendsofchambermusic.com/ Promo code: FCM30CSSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

No one wants to talk about the $1.8 Billion Federal Budget deficit - especially the two candidates running for president and their political parties. But, as Marc Goldwein of the Committee for a Responsible Budget warns, the interest costs alone to serve that debt are approaching 17% of government spending, which is more than we spend on defense, education and healthcare. Both presidential candidates are pushing policies that would only amplify that debt by trillions of dollars over the next decade, bringing with it inflation, high interest rates, a debt spiral and a massive devaluing of U.S. Treasuries. The debt matters, but don't tell Washington D.C.
