Podcasts about Fiscal

In Episode 410 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with investors Paulo Macro and Le Shrub about the consequences of a breakdown in the international capital and trading system—and what this means for markets and investor portfolios. The first hour revisits last year's discussion on “EM-ification,” the breakdown of the rules-based global order, and the urgent search for a new safe asset in a world of deteriorating fiscal balance sheets. Together, Demetri, Paulo, and Le Shrub map out what investors should be paying attention to in the year ahead. In the second hour, the conversation turns to the implications of a full-blown trade and capital war, including: The impact on U.S. assets—especially Treasuries and the dollar—if surplus nations redirect their capital flows away from the United States Resurgent inflation fueled by strategic rearmament and industrial policy A potential decoupling from—and even a hot war with—China The abandonment of fiscal restraint in the face of an economic slowdown amid persistently high or rising borrowing costs for the U.S. government The risk of massive wealth destruction triggered by a dramatic revaluation of the U.S. dollar Subscribe to our premium content—including our premium feed, episode transcripts, and Intelligence Reports—by visiting HiddenForces.io/subscribe.

While the media calls it “tariff turmoil,” Trump is hitting record-high approval — especially with a group no one expected: 18- to 29-year-olds. With a stunning 64% approval rating among Gen Z and growing support from Hispanic and Black voters, Trump is reshaping the political map. But as he throws down a $9 billion spending cut challenge to Congress — including defunding NPR, PBS, and USAID — the question becomes whether Republicans will rise to meet the moment or retreat into old habits. This episode breaks down the numbers, the youth shift, and the high-stakes fiscal fight that could define the GOP's future.

Historically, Black Americans' quest for power has been seen as an attempt to gain equal protection under the law, but power in America requires more than basic democratic freedoms. It's linked with economic influence and ownership of one's own self, home, business, and creations. In his new book, "Black Power Scorecard: Measuring the Racial Gap and What We Can Do to Close It," published by McMillan, Brookings Senior Fellow Andre Perry quantifies how much power Black Americans really have and calculates how that translates into the longevity of Back communities. On this episode of The Current, which was taped in front of a live audience, Perry, who also directs the Center for Community Uplift at Brookings, is interviewed by senior fellow David Wessel, who directs the Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy.

For the past decade, U.S. stocks have stolen the spotlight. Fueled by the dominance of tech giants and ultra-low interest rates, American equities have outperformed much of the world—leaving many investors to wonder if there's any need to look beyond U.S. borders. But history—and current market conditions—suggest it may be time to take a fresh look at foreign stocks.A recent article from Sound Mind Investing by Mark Biller outlines why international markets could be poised for a resurgence. From valuation gaps and shifting fiscal policy to global capital flows and post-COVID economic trends, several factors are aligning that could make foreign equities an important part of a well-diversified portfolio again.Let's walk through the key highlights and insights from the article—and why this may be a wise moment to think globally in your investment strategy.Mark Biller is Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. Why Should U.S. Investors Consider Foreign Stocks?1. Diversification and Market DynamicsForeign stocks offer investors the opportunity to diversify—not just by geography but also by market behavior. While U.S. stocks declined by more than 4% in Q1 of this year, a common international fund used by Sound Mind Investing rose by over 8%. That kind of divergence underscores the value of spreading risk across global markets.Two decades ago, having 20% or more of your equity portfolio in international stocks was standard practice. However, as U.S. markets have surged over the last 14 years—outperforming foreign stocks by a factor of four—many investors have pulled back. History, however, suggests the pendulum could be swinging back.2. The Tech Bubble ParallelRemember the late 1990s tech boom? From 1995 to 1999, the S&P 500 rose more than 20% annually, driven largely by internet stocks. Sound familiar?After the dot-com bubble burst in March 2000, U.S. stocks stalled—gaining just 13% over the next 7.5 years. Meanwhile, foreign stocks soared, climbing 69% during that same stretch. Market cycles like this remind us that chasing performance can lead to missed opportunities elsewhere.3. A Price-to-Earnings DisparityCurrently, U.S. stocks trade at a P/E ratio of around 26—well above historical norms. Foreign stocks? Around 16. That's a significant valuation gap. While valuation alone doesn't indicate when markets will shift, it does suggest that the upside potential for international equities is greater—especially if investor sentiment begins to shift.4. Post-COVID Spending and Sector ShiftsCOVID-19 marked the end of a 40-year trend of declining inflation and interest rates. Since then, we've entered a new environment with higher inflation and rising rates—conditions that benefit the more industrial, less tech-heavy composition of many foreign markets.U.S. tech stocks, dominant in low-rate environments, may not fare as well moving forward. Foreign markets, which lean toward traditional sectors, could outperform in this new economic climate.5. Shifting Fiscal PolicyOne potential catalyst for foreign stock performance is shifting government policies. The U.S. has begun cutting back on spending, while other countries—facing rising defense needs and new trade dynamics—are ramping up.Historically, higher government spending boosts economic growth in the short term. If the U.S. tightens its belt while others open their wallets, we may see a reversal in relative market performance.6. The "Sequencing Risk" of Tariff Policies“Sequencing risk” is a dynamic in which the pain of policy changes is felt up front, while the benefits come later. For example, tariffs initially slow economic activity but are implemented in hopes of long-term economic independence and stability.This could reduce U.S. growth projections in the short term as some foreign economies accelerate. This divergence can significantly influence investment returns.7. Follow the MoneyFor decades, the global economy has operated under a system where the U.S. buys, and the rest of the world recycles its earnings back into U.S. assets. This has been a tailwind for U.S. stocks and bonds.But what happens if the U.S. begins importing less? Those recycled dollars may dry up—meaning less foreign investment in U.S. markets and potentially more reinvestment at home, in countries where those goods are produced. That shift could fuel a rally in international markets.8. It's Not Either/Or—It's Both/AndThis isn't about abandoning U.S. stocks. It's about recapturing the value of a globally diversified portfolio. With international stocks looking attractively priced and a number of tailwinds forming, now may be a wise time to add foreign exposure through mutual funds or ETFs.The impact could be substantial if global capital starts flowing back into foreign stocks.If your portfolio has drifted into a U.S.-only approach over the last decade, now may be the time to revisit your strategy. While no one can predict the future, wise stewardship includes preparing for it with thoughtful diversification.For a deeper dive into this topic, you can read Mark Biller's full article, “Time for Foreign Stocks to Shine?” at SoundMindInvesting.org.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I want to buy an expensive watch.

Sobre la guerra que enfrenta al gobierno de Donald Trump con las universidades y las acciones del Ministerio de Hacienda por el déficit fiscal, Iván Valenzuela conversó con Paula Escobar y Mónica Pérez en una nueva edición del Rat Pack del Mesa Central.

We talk to Jon Morris, a returning guest, about the importance of strategic planning and innovation in agency budgeting. Jon emphasizes that every agency has a strategic plan reflected in their spending and highlights the need to connect budget allocations with strategic goals. He discusses the significance of identifying an ideal client profile (ICP) for targeted innovation and the necessity of adhering to standard operating procedures (SOPs) to ensure consistent service delivery. The conversation also touches on the challenges of predicting business growth and the role of technology in enhancing operational efficiency.

Joe Galli (65:00) from the Greater Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce shares astounding details of AZ Governor Hobbs mismanagement of state funds & a local perspective on impacts of tariffs. 

Lindsey Graham's controversial budget proposal has exposed the GOP's dangerous commitment to runaway spending, with only a mere $4 billion cut over a decade. While Trump's agenda, including deportations and military contracts, is tied to this budget, the real cost could be America's financial collapse. As inflation soars and the middle class faces unprecedented struggles, can the GOP truly avoid the debt death cycle? Or is this the beginning of the end for fiscal conservatism?

The fight for America's fiscal stability is intensifying as Congress grapples with massive deficits and ballooning budgets. Lindsey Graham's budget proposal, aiming for minimal cuts, has sparked a showdown, while Elon Musk and Donald Trump advocate for radical fiscal reforms to avoid bankruptcy. With the middle class at risk and essential programs under threat, where will America go from here?

In this episode of ITR Live, Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson deliver a packed discussion on Iowa's legislative session, focusing on budget targets, property tax reform, and a comprehensive historical take on tariffs and trade policy.Chris begins by praising Iowa's legislature for its self-imposed spending limits, which have kept spending well below legal thresholds and positioned the state for bold income tax cuts, including the move to a 3.8% flat tax. The hosts contrast this fiscal discipline with local governments, many of which continue to push for higher spending and call for new revenue streams—often without serious efforts to reduce costs.They also provide updates on the property tax reform bill still under discussion at the Capitol. The conversation urges local governments to follow the state's example by enacting self-imposed spending restraints, especially as constituents continue to push for relief amid high property tax burdens.In the second half, John offers an extensive and engaging history lesson on tariffs in American politics, from Alexander Hamilton and Abraham Lincoln to Warren Harding, Coolidge, and now Donald Trump. With the Trump administration's recent announcement of new tariffs—with a temporary pause on some—the hosts explore the economic and strategic rationale for tariffs, why free trade isn't always fair, and how manufacturing job losses and trade deficits have reshaped conservative thinking.Wrapping up, they reflect on Smoot-Hawley's misunderstood legacy, the global trade imbalance, and a growing bipartisan interest in rethinking how America approaches international trade. Plus, there's a trivia challenge: Can you guess who said, “The taxpayers literally groan under layer upon layer of tax units”?

La Asociación de Magistrados Fiscales del Uruguay se declaró ayer en conflicto, porque entiende que la Fiscalía General de la Nación no salió a defender a estos profesionales “en un contexto de ataque hacia la institución” y que, en cambio, las autoridades tomaron medidas que “limitan el derecho al goce de la licencia anual”. El gremio consideró agotada la vía de diálogo bipartita y solicitó una reunión tripartita con el Ministerio de Trabajo, pero además tomó medidas que afectan el desempeño de sus tareas, incluyendo no solicitar hasta el próximo lunes órdenes de detención ni autorizar allanamientos, en casos donde no se den situaciones de riesgo inminente para la vida, la integridad física y derechos similares como la libertad sexual. La Fiscalía, por su parte, expresó su sorpresa por esas medidas que consideró graves y que, dijo, “no fueron debidamente preanunciadas”. Por lo tanto, según se explica en el comunicado oficial, el organismo notificó la situación al Ministerio de Educación y Cultura, al que corresponde la tutela administrativa de la Fiscalía.

Don't lose your nerve!Following the opener, Breitbart's Economics Editor, John Carney, rejoins the program to provide an expert's opinions on the Trump tariffs' impact on the markets this week and what he thinks will happen in the near-future for this country's fiscal health.

La guerra comercial por los aranceles de Trump provocó este lunes caídas en las bolsas de Asia, Europa y Estados Unidos, por el miedo a una recesión global. En medio de la tensión, Trump amenazó con subir los aranceles a China al 50%, después de que Pekín anunciara que respondería con las mismas medidas. Además, la Fed llamó a una reunión de emergencia tras la fuerte caída de los mercados.Este lunes Sheinbaum dijo que la Fiscalía General de Justicia de la Ciudad de México investigará el caso de la muerte de los fotógrafos Berenice y Miguel para deslindar responsabilidades tanto de organizadores como de autoridades involucradas.

Today, we delve into two applicable words from the English language to describe Con Inc. and its arguments for the mix of policies we are seeing from the Trump administration: sophistry and demagoguery. It is taking broad principles we all support in their proper spheres and misapplying them to the extreme to play on people's emotions. Also, to the extent a trade deficit is a problem, it's only because of the fiscal deficit. The problem is Trump is now supporting a horrible Senate reconciliation bill to make matters worse. If only he cared about the fiscal deficit as much as the trade deficit, we would achieve his stated goals without spending as much political capital. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dieter Brandau relata las irregulares en la mina asturiana desde su primera apertura y desvela las posibles responsabilidades de las administraciones. El accidente que el pasado 31 de marzo acabó con la vida de cinco trabajadores en la mina de Cerrecedo (Asturias) no solo deja numerosas incógnitas sobre las causas que lo provocaron —según las primeras hipótesis, una explosión de grisú—, sino también un sinfín de dudas sobre la actividad que se desarrollaba realmente en dicha explotación desde que la empresa Blue Solving se hizo cargo de la misma. "Desde luego, el peso de la ley va a recaer sobre las posibles responsabilidades que aquí se hayan cursado", aseguró a las pocas horas Yolanda Díaz, vicepresidenta del Gobierno a la par que ministra de Trabajo. Desde entonces, la prensa local, con La Nueva España a la cabeza, ha ido destapando todas las irregularidades que, desde hace años, planean sobre la mina y sus máximos responsables: desde un accidente previo en el que también falleció un trabajador y que destapó la existencia de extracciones ilegales, a denuncias anónimas que, curiosamente, se traspapelaron o la advertencia, dos semanas antes del fatídico accidente, del antiguo propietario de la mina, Victorino Alonso. Este empresario del carbón, conocido como Don Vito, desveló que los trabajadores ya habían sufrido recientemente algún mareo por la presencia de gas y pidió al Gobierno de Asturias, al Gobierno de España y a la Fiscalía que dictasen una orden irrevocable de cierre, acusando a Blue Solving de querer perpetrar "un burdo engaño", cuando lo único que busca esta compañía es, según sus propias palabras, "una cortada para reabrir un lavadero". Por si fuera poco, la historia cuenta con dos protagonistas muy conocidas: una, a nivel nacional; otra, a nivel autonómico. La primera es la actual vicepresidenta de Pedro Sánchez Sara Aagesen, quien regó de subvenciones a esta empresa que hoy está en el punto de mira cuando estaba al frente del Instituto de Transición Justa. La segunda, Belarmina Díaz, ascendida a consejera de Transición Ecológica en el Gobierno del socialista Adrián Barbón, a pesar de que, en sus anteriores cargos, fue la receptora de infinidad de denuncias y la máxima responsable de garantizar la seguridad en la mina de Cerrecedo. El equipo de La Noche de Dieter desvela todos los detalles que ahora deberán tener en cuenta los investigadores y lanza ocho preguntas para la reflexión: ¿Qué hubiera pasado si la mina donde ocurrió el accidente mortal en vez de estar en Asturias hubiera estado en la Comunidad de Madrid? ¿Qué hubiera sucedido si la consejera regional responsable de las minas no fuera de un gobierno socialista? ¿Qué habría ocurrido en estos siete días si a la empresa propietaria de la mina hubiera sido subvencionada generosamente por Isabel Díaz Ayuso o Carlos Mazón? ¿Qué habría pasado si algún gobierno del PP hubiera ignorado advertencias, traspapelado denuncias y desatendido una petición de cierre quince días antes del accidente en la mina? ¿Cuántos cargos del PP habrían sido tachados ya de asesinos? ¿Cuántas manifestaciones habrían pedido ya dimisiones políticas? ¿Cuántos habría recibido amenazas de muerte? ¿Cuántos especiales habríamos visto en televisión?

US federal debt is currently almost as large as annual national income, something not seen before the pandemic. Expenditures like interest payments on the debt, military spending, and Social Security cannot be easily trimmed, and the provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs act are likely to be extended, adding an estimated $5 trillion to the debt over the next decade. What are the likely consequences for the economy of rising debt? And how will this affect people's retirement, especially if there are cuts to Social Security? Wendy Edelberg and Ben Harris join EconoFact Chats to discuss these issues. Wendy is the director of the Hamilton Project and a Senior Fellow in Economic Studies at The Brookings Institution. She previously served as Chief Economist at the Congressional Budget Office. Ben is the Vice President and Director of Economic Studies at Brookings. He was Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy and Chief Economist at the Treasury Department in the Biden administration.

Emisión del lunes 31 de marzo de 2025 A solo unos días de que entre en vigor el arancel de Donald Trump del 25% a las exportaciones mexicanas, la Secretaría de Hacienda publicó el viernes pasado su informe de Finanzas Públicas y Deuda Pública del primer bimestre de 2025, en el que se revela la magnitud de los recortes que la presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum ha ordenado para enfrentar el déficit fiscal que irresponsablemente le heredó Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

En las últimas semanas se han vivido en el país una serie de episodios atípicos. Amenazas de bomba, hackeos a las webs oficiales de instituciones gubernamentales e incluso mails con la advertencia sobre una “masacre” son algunos de los hechos que han alterado la cotidianeidad a la que estamos acostumbrados. Fiscalía General de la Nación, Presidencia de la República, el Ministerio de Desarrollo Social, la Dirección Nacional de Aviación Civil e Infraestructura Aeronáutica (Dinacia) y la Dirección Nacional de Migraciones fueron algunas de las instituciones del Estado que sufrieron ataques ejecutados por hackers. En algunos de esos casos, los ciberdelincuentes revelaron públicamente o directamente pusieron a la venta información sensible que lograron extraer de los servidores de las instituciones agredidas Además, este domingo todos los sitios web identificados con la terminación “gub.uy” experimentaron una caída masiva y recién pudieron ser restablecidos a partir de la hora 14:30. Según la Agencia de Gobierno Electrónico y Sociedad de la Información y del Conocimiento (Agesic), se trató de “un ataque de denegación de servicio”, lo que implicó “la realización de miles de pedidos simultáneos, con el objetivo de saturar los servidores” hasta que no respondieran. Además, la semana pasada hubo otro incidente muy singular, cuando la Universidad de la República recibió un mail en el que una persona amenazaba con efectuar una masacre con armas de fuego en alguno de los edificios de esa institución. Echamos un poco de luz sobre estos acontecimientos a los que los uruguayos no estamos acostumbrados. Por eso conversamos En Perspectiva con Leonardo Berro, director y fundador de Security Advisor.

We discuss the £14 billion fiscal repair package, focusing on the £3.4 billion savings from welfare reforms projected to increase relative poverty for 250,000 people.  We also analyze the £3.6 billion cuts to departmental spending and the anticipated £2.2 billion from enhanced tax compliance measures.  The conversation addresses public reactions, with only 19% approving of Reeves's performance, and explores the potential impact of international trade tensions, such as President Trump's 25% tariff on UK car imports.  Join us as we provide a business perspective on the economic strategies.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mark-and-pete--1245374/support.

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.
