For the first time in a quarter-century, Congress passed a sweeping $9.4 billion rescission package, marking a pivotal shift toward fiscal conservatism. With support from Senate Republicans and former President Trump, the bill eliminates funding for NPR, foreign aid, and climate programs, reclaiming unused pandemic and infrastructure funds. Touted by conservatives as a blow to bloated bureaucracy and left-wing agendas, the measure is seen as the first step in dismantling the administrative state. Critics argue the cuts are largely symbolic—but House Speaker Mike Johnson promises this is just the beginning.
In a historic move, Congress approved a $9.4 billion rollback of previously allocated funds—the first major rescission package since 1999. Spearheaded by Senate Republicans and influenced by Donald Trump, the cuts target foreign aid, NPR, climate initiatives, and unused pandemic relief. While critics argue the impact is largely symbolic, supporters see it as a critical first step in dismantling bloated government spending and reasserting America First priorities. With Speaker Mike Johnson signaling more cuts ahead, this vote could mark the beginning of a broader fiscal shift in Washington.

We keep hearing the refrain that there's billions of dollars sitting on the sidelines for commercial real estate. Well if that's true, then why is it so hard to raise capital in the current environment? Every investor and every developer I speak with is saying that investors are sitting on their wallets. There is a substantial amount of dry powder available for commercial real estate investment across various firms, with London-based investment data company Preqin putting the number at more than $350 billion. Much of it is held by the largest private equity and alternative investment firms, including Blackstone, Brookfield Asset Management, Ares Management, KKR, Carlyle Group, Apollo Global Management, TPG Capital and Starwood Capital Group.Much of the dry powder was raised three or more years ago and has been left unspent. Funds often have set periods during which they must spend money they've taken in from investors, and that deadline is approaching with many companies showing new signs of activity. -------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1) iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613) Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com) LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce) YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso) Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com) **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital) Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Aengus Cox, Agriculture Correspondent, reports on new proposals from the European Commission which looks set to propose the merging Common Agriculture Policy funding into a single fund. Francie Gorman, President of the Irish Farmers' Association, assesses the new proposals.
In this episode of The Sound of Economics, host Rebecca Christie discusses how insurance funds invest in the global economy with Patrick Hoedjes, Head of Policy and Supervisory Convergence Department of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA), and Bruegel's Jesper Berg, Marie-Sophie Lappe and David Pinkus. Where is the money going? What role does European policy play? How can we make sure citizens understand their options and have confidence in the system? They also discuss new research on how much insurance company and pension fund investments stay in Europe, a key question in the EU capital markets debate. The discussion is based on an upcoming Bruegel Policy Brief written by Marie-Sophie Lappe and David Pinkus.
The Clare branch of the Irish Farmers Association believes any reduction in agriculture funding at EU level would be devastating for Clare. It comes as the European Commission is to propose merging Common Agricultural Policy funding with other funds from the start of its next budgetary cycle in 2028. CAP is believed to be worth €96 million to Clare annually. Feakle farmer and Chairperson of the Clare branch of the IFA Stephen Walsh says given the climbing age profile of farmers here, funding needs to be increased rather than slashed.

He holds a PhD in Finance from Université de Neuchâtel.Laurent joined Merle to discuss the topic of investing pension funds in startups through Swiss VC funds. Although most Swiss pension funds are currently invested in bonds, stocks, real estate and cash, 5% of it goes into private equity or private debt. There are, however, some caveats to this type of investment: the investment must be made in entities located in Switzerland, and money cannot be borrowed to increase the size of the investment. Laurent argues that more Swiss pension fund money should be invested in Swiss startups, in a risk-controlled environment, to help bridge the funding gap for growth-stage Swiss startups. He warns that investment choices must not be network/politically based, but instead driven by neutral market expertise. Laurent and Merle also discussed the possibility of creating a “fund of funds”, meaning a fund of startup investing experts who would invest the money trusted to them by pension fund investors.

In this episode of Unearthed, co-hosts Joe Cavatoni and John Reade, Senior Market Strategists for the World Gold Council, are joined by Amanda Krichman, Chief Operating Officer of Funds at the World Gold Council. Together, they unpack the fundamentals of gold-backed ETFs, taking a closer look at how these products work and address some of the most common myths in the market. The conversation covers everything from how gold ETFs are created and redeemed to the role of authorised participants (APs) in maintaining price stability and liquidity. Together, they also reflect on 20 years since the launch of GLD, the first U.S.-listed gold ETF, and explore how ETFs have revolutionised access to gold for both retail and institutional investors. Notable Quotes: “An ETF, or as it's known, an exchange-traded fund, pools assets from many different investors and gives them an easy option to buy into a diversified product. They'll buy shares of this product, which will allow them to get access to many different underlying investments.” — Amanda Krichman “I've seen it with my own eyes. For the two products that we work on with GLD and GLDM, the gold is there. The shares of the fund won't be released until the physical gold bars are delivered and allocated within the accounts for each of the ETFs.” — Amanda Krichman “You might be wondering, how do these authorised participants make money? It's based on the arbitrage of how that's trading in the secondary market and to help keep the price as close as possible, less expensive to the underlying value of the gold per share.” — Amanda Krichman Disclaimer: For additional information on SPDR® Gold Shares (GLD®) and SPDR® Gold MiniShares (GLDM®), please visit www.spdrgoldshares.com.

In recent years, the role of private debt has transformed, with the potential for higher returns and greater portfolio diversification seeing the asset class become a more frequent feature in institutional portfolios. Now, the way that investors are accessing private debt has changed too. Semi-liquid fund structures have emerged, with asset managers seeking to address the traditional barriers to entry for wealth managers and other non-institutional investors, potentially offering greater flexibility in accessing the asset class. In this episode, Nick Rosenblatt, Wealth Management Proposition Leader at Mercer, is joined by Alecia DeCuollo and Tamsin Coleman to examine the driving forces behind private debt's growth as an asset class in recent years, the advent of semi-liquid structures and their ripple effect through the industry, as well as the risk and due diligence considerations when evaluating semi-liquid, private credit funds.This podcast contains statements on historical performance which may not be repeated in the future.

And finally, a new report from the Fraser Institue dives into Canada's changing immigration patterns, which has seen a sharp rise over the past decade since the Liberals returned to power in the House of Commons. Special Guest: Lise Merle.

The $111-billion budget signed by Gov. Tony Evers didn't set aside money for for the state's Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program. Family planning clinics in Wisconsin are facing funding cuts under the massive bill signed by President Donald Trump last week. And, more than half of surveyed fire chiefs in Wisconsin say they're concerned about having adequate staffing.
Here are 3 big things you need to know— One — The U.S. will be shipping more weapons to Ukraine. President Trump made the remarks at a White House dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This comes after the administration had paused some weapons shipments to Ukraine over concerns the U.S. military stockpile was being depleted. Two --- A federal judge has prevented the Trump administration from enforcing part of the Big Beautiful Bill that would block funding for Planned Parenthood health centers. The temporary restraining order was issued by a Judge in Massachusetts. At issue is the provision in the new tax and spending bill signed into law by President Donald Trump on July 4 that eliminates one year of Medicaid payments from Planned Parenthood health centers because the organization also provides abortions. The real issue, of course, is a district judge trying to strip Congress of the power of the purse. And number three --- Travelers at several major U.S. airports no longer need to remove their shoes at security checkpoints, as the TSA begins testing a relaxed screening policy. An internal memo reveals the soft launch is now underway at airports including L-A-X, LaGuardia, B-W-I, Philadelphia, and Fort Lauderdale International.

In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry's new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing. In this series, they discuss Chapter 37: Sell in May and Go Away: Financial Astrology and Chapter 38: Chasing Spectacular Fund Performance.LEARNING: Calendars don't drive returns. Winners ignore hot funds. “For you to believe in a strategy, there should be some economically logical reason for it to persist, so you can be confident it isn't just some random outcome.”Larry Swedroe In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry's new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing. The book is a collection of stories that Larry has developed over 30 years as the head of financial and economic research at Buckingham Wealth Partners to help investors. You can learn more about Larry's Worst Investment Ever story on Ep645: Beware of Idiosyncratic Risks.Larry deeply understands the world of academic research and investing, especially risk. Today, Andrew and Larry discuss Chapter 37: Sell in May and Go Away: Financial Astrology and Chapter 38: Chasing Spectacular Fund Performance.Chapter 37: Sell in May and Go Away: Financial AstrologyIn chapter 37, Larry explains why the idea of selling stocks in May and switching to cash, then buying back in November, is not a sound strategy.What financial advisers insist on repeating, in Larry's view, is: “Sell in May, go to cash, and reinvest in November.” It makes sense and is even logical. And, as the adage has it, numbers don't lie. Figures, backed by reliable data, show that stocks gain more from November through April (a 5.7% average premium) than from May through October (a 2.6% average premium). So why not time the market?Busting the mythLarry dismantles this advice, revealing that the ‘Sell in May' strategy, despite its apparent logic, is a myth. He points out that stocks still outperform cash even during the May to October period, with stocks beating T-bills by 2.6% annually.Selling stocks prematurely leads to missed gains, and the strategy of switching investments underperforms a simple buy-and-hold approach. In fact, a ‘Sell in May' strategy yielded an average annual return of 8.3% from 1926 to 2023, while simply holding the S&P 500 returned 10.2%—a significant 1.9% yearly gap.Larry adds that Taxes and fees make the strategy worse. Trading converts long-term gains (lower tax) into short-term gains (higher tax). Transaction costs always pile up.Additionally, this strategy is rarely effective. Before 2022, the last “win” was 2011. A single outlier (2022's bear market) does not make a strategy worthwhile.The fatal flawAccording to Larry, one of the fundamental rules of finance is that expected return and risk are positively correlated. So if stocks actually do worse than cash between May and October, they'd need to be less risky for these six months, which is absurd because volatility doesn't take summer vacations.Why do people believe in this flawed strategy?Larry notes four reasons why people still believe in this flawed investment strategy:Recency bias: Media hypes the strategy after rare wins (like 2022).Pattern-seeking: Humans confuse coincidence with...
