Oregon lawmakers will have roughly $500 million less to work with for the next two-year budget cycle, according to the state’s latest economic and revenues forecast unveiled Wednesday in Salem.

Also on Wednesday, the state released its latest jobs report. It showed that unemployment in Oregon rose to 4.7% in April, which is higher than the national average and marks a gradual increase over the past year.  Oregon Chief Economist Carl Riccadonna joins us for more details about the state’s economic outlook and the challenges ahead.

President Donald Trump signed a short-term spending bill over the weekend. It prevented a government shutdown and outlined where federal funds will go over the next six months. But it does not include money that rural schools have historically used to stay afloat. Also, Shasta County supervisors joined the Freedom Foundation in a lawsuit against a state agency. They claim California statutes violate their free speech rights, and a homeless aid group has created a fund to push back against anti-homeless laws and policies at the federal, state, and local level.

The United States House of Representatives passed a federal stopgap spending bill earlier this week that could force D.C. to cut $1.1 billion in spending. It would also give the Trump administration even more power to cut spending and shrink the federal workforce. The legislation is being weighed by the U.S. Senate.Virginia Senator Tim Kaine joined Kojo and Tom to explain why he planned to vote 'no' on the Republican-backed spending bill, even if it means a government shutdown.The continuing resolution passed by the House would mean huge cuts to D.C.'s schools, public safety, and social services. It has sent D.C. leaders to Capitol Hill this week in an attempt to convince members of Congress to find another way to fund the government without slashing D.C.'s budget. WAMU's new D.C. politics reporter Alex Koma and D.C. At-Large Councilmember Christina Henderson got behind the mic to explain how we got here, what comes next, and what a billion dollars in cuts would mean for District residents.Councilmember Henderson described how devastating it would be for the city to be prevented from spending its own budget."It would just sit while we are cutting police, fire teachers, summer camp, summer youth employment, trash pickup, recreation centers, libraries, senior wellness centers. It's a lot," she said.Later on Friday, after the show, a standalone bill was introduced returning control of the budget back to the city.Become a member of WAMU: wamu.org/donateSend us questions and comments for guests: kojo@wamu.orgFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/wamu885

While Elon Musk and his "Department of Government Efficiency" are slashing areas of federal spending to combat the current national debt ($36 trillion) and the current fiscal year's deficit ($711 billion), we remember going through something similar back in 2010: Simpson-Bowles, known as "The National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform." There were 12 members of Congress and 6 private citizens on the commission. In the end, they failed to get the required super-majority vote to advance their recommendations to Congress. Michael today speaks with Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), who sat on the committee, and voted against the commission's recommendations 15 years ago. Then, hear from the audience on the current fiscal state of the United States. Original air date 7 February 2025.

Elon Musk is keeping his campaign promise of trying to cut $2 trillion of federal spending through his unit, DOGE.

This week, the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) ordered a freeze of funding across a broad array of federal programs, leading to mass confusion around the country from local governments, nonprofits, and individuals. While that particular order appears to have been rescinded, Molly Reynolds explains how it touches on foundational questions of Congress' spending power and constitutional authorities, and how it's just one of the Trump administration's first steps to try to dramatically remake the size and scope of the federal government.  Show notes and transcript: https://www.brookings.edu/articles/can-the-trump-administration-freeze-federal-spending  Follow The Current and all Brookings podcasts on Apple or Google podcasts, or on Spotify.
