Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss the internal debate among Republicans about raising the top income tax rate to 40 percent. Also, Donald Trump goes after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, saying his termination “could not come fast enough.” Then they discuss vice chairman of the Democratic Party David Hogg, who says he will spend $20 million to help progressive candidates challenge incumbent Democrats in safe districts during the 2026 midterms.  Also, a look at new reporting from RealClear Investigations into how Georgia politician Stacey Abrams has amassed a multimillion-dollar net worth.

Then, Carl Cannon talks to Pete Geren, former Democratic representative from Texas and former Secretary of the Army, about the decline in literacy among today's school children and what can be done to correct it.

This Day in Legal History: Lend-Lease ActOn March 11, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Lend-Lease Act into law, fundamentally reshaping U.S. foreign policy during World War II. The legislation empowered the President to provide military aid to countries deemed essential to American national security, even if they could not immediately pay for the supplies. This marked a decisive shift from the nation's prior isolationist stance, allowing Roosevelt to support the Allies without directly engaging in combat. Under the act, the United States sent over $50 billion in war materials to nations such as the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, and China. The aid included weapons, vehicles, food, and other critical supplies, strengthening the Allied war effort against Axis forces. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill described the act as crucial to his country's survival, calling it "the most unsordid act in the history of any nation." The law also laid the groundwork for closer U.S.-Allied relations, ensuring American economic and military influence in global affairs. While many supported the act as a necessary step to combat fascism, isolationists in Congress criticized it as a step toward war. Their fears proved correct when Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 led to full U.S. involvement in the conflict. Lend-Lease remained in effect until September 1945, helping to shape the postwar world order. The program reinforced the role of the United States as the "Arsenal of Democracy," a term Roosevelt had coined to describe its industrial and military production for the Allied cause. The principles behind Lend-Lease also influenced future U.S. foreign aid programs, including the Marshall Plan. By prioritizing strategic alliances and military support, the act cemented America's role as a dominant force in international relations.U.S. Circuit Judge James Ho resigned from the Federal Judges Association (FJA) over its recent statement addressing rising threats, criticism, and violence against the judiciary. Ho, a Trump-appointed judge and potential Supreme Court nominee, objected to what he saw as a selective concern for judicial independence. The FJA, which represents over 1,100 federal judges, warned against "irresponsible rhetoric" and security risks but did not name specific cases or threats. The statement came amid increasing attacks on judges from figures like Elon Musk and Trump allies, particularly targeting those blocking conservative policies. FJA President Judge Michelle Childs cited growing threats, including intimidation and impeachment efforts, as challenges to judicial independence. Ho criticized the group for not issuing similar warnings when conservative justices, like Brett Kavanaugh, faced threats, arguing that defending only certain judges politicizes the judiciary. He announced his resignation at a Federalist Society event, framing his departure as a stand against perceived bias. The FJA did not respond to requests for comment.Fun fact about Judge Ho, he was sworn in to the 5th Circuit by Justice Clarence Thomas at a library owned by Harlan Crow. Longtime readers of Minimum Competence will remember I featured Crow in a column back in 2023:We've learned much about Crow over the past few weeks—as a friend and benefactor of Justice Clarence Thomas, a collector of Hitlerania and garden gnome versions of history's greatest monsters, and a holder of a “cashport” (I'm coining that term here) to St. Kitts and Nevis, another country that is well known as a tax haven. Some call them golden visas, but that's a euphemism intended to give the entire process the air of legitimacy. James Bond carries a golden visa, Harlan Crow buys a cashport.Trump-appointed judge quits judicial group over warning about threats | ReutersGolden Visas Let People Like Harlan Crow Keep Too Much Hidden (2)The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a challenge to Colorado's ban on "conversion therapy" for minors, brought by Christian therapist Kaley Chiles. Chiles argues the 2019 law violates her First Amendment rights by restricting her ability to counsel clients in line with her religious beliefs. Colorado officials maintain that the law regulates professional conduct, not speech. Lower courts upheld the ban, citing evidence that conversion therapy is harmful and ineffective. The Supreme Court's decision to take the case follows its recent pattern of ruling in favor of religious interests over LGBT protections. The Court previously declined to hear a similar case from Washington state, though conservative justices dissented. The case will be argued in the Court's next term, starting in October. The ruling could have nationwide implications, as over two dozen states have similar bans. The Court is also considering other cases on LGBT and religious rights this term, with decisions expected by June.US Supreme Court to hear challenge to Colorado gay 'conversion therapy' ban | ReutersWealthy U.S. colleges are ramping up efforts to fight potential tax increases on their large endowments amid growing Republican scrutiny. The Trump administration's recent decision to cut federal funding to Columbia University over alleged antisemitism is just one example of political pressure elite schools are facing. Universities like Harvard, Princeton, and MIT are intensifying lobbying efforts, with leaders traveling to Washington to protect their multibillion-dollar funds. Critics argue that these institutions, which already benefit from tax advantages, should not be allowed to accumulate vast wealth tax-free while tuition remains high. Some proposals in Congress seek to raise the current 1.4% endowment tax or expand it to include schools with smaller per-student endowments. Universities warn that higher taxes could reduce financial aid and deter donors, affecting students who rely on scholarships. The fight comes as Congress prepares for a major tax policy debate in 2025, with Republican lawmakers pushing for broader tax reform. Some smaller institutions, like Wabash College, fear they could be unfairly targeted despite having far fewer resources than elite schools. Meanwhile, top universities continue to brace for further financial and political attacks, with some implementing hiring freezes in response to federal funding threats.Wealthiest Colleges Fight to Protect Their Riches From Taxation This is a public episode.

(The Center Square) – Republicans in the Washington State Legislature say Democrats are exaggerating the size of the projected four-year operating budget shortfall to justify proposed tax increases. The amount of the shortfall itself is a matter of some debate. In November, the Office of Financial Management indicated the state would be $10 to $12 billion in the hole over the next four years. A month later, then-Gov. Jay Inslee announced that the number had jumped to $16 billion. He said the deficit was even greater than first projected.

Debt crisis in the bond market Rachel Reeves flies off to China £3 trillion national debt rising by £5170 per second Higher taxes, low investment, slow growth GDP per capital lower that 17 years ago. Is Great Britain Finished? The Debt Crisis Unveiled As the UK faces mounting economic challenges, many are asking, "Is Great Britain finished?" The debt crisis in the bond market, combined with political and economic turmoil, paints a grim picture. Debt Crisis in the Bond Market The national debt has surpassed a staggering £3 trillion and is rising by £5,170 every second. With interest rates climbing, servicing this debt becomes increasingly expensive, putting immense pressure on the government’s budget. The bond market, a critical mechanism for financing this debt, is showing signs of instability as investor confidence wanes. Rachel Reeves Flies to China While Britain’s economic foundations tremble, Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s recent visit to China raises questions. Is Britain looking outward for economic salvation, or is this a sign of deeper dependency on foreign powers? Higher Taxes, Low Investment, and Slow Growth The current economic model is under strain. Higher taxes have stifled consumer spending and business investment, leading to sluggish growth. The result? A GDP per capita that is now lower than it was 17 years ago, reflecting stagnation in living standards and economic opportunity. A Nation at a Crossroads With its economic future uncertain, Britain must address these pressing issues. A strategy to boost investment, foster innovation, and balance fiscal policy is essential to restore confidence and drive growth.

How will the Trump and Harris economic plans affect your investing? One candidate is looking to increase affordable housing and give homebuyers a break on their first property. The other plans to keep taxes low so you can save more money. Both are concerned about inflation and rising costs, but will either of their plans correct the national budget deficit we constantly find ourselves in? We're digging into the 2024 election economics on this BiggerNews episode with economist Joel Naroff. First, we're discussing what happens economically during elections as Americans brace for a new president. Then, we dive into Harris' economic plan and stance on inflation, cost of living, and affordable housing. She also has her eye on raising taxes for high-income earners, but will she bring things back to the pre-Trump era? Next, the Trump economic plan. Just like in his presidency, Trump plans to reduce taxes even more, which could help those on social security and those who make their income from tips. The question is, will this loss of tax revenue put too much of a dent in our government's budget and push us further into a deficit? Could Trump's pro-tariff stance help stimulate local manufacturing and increase tax revenue from imported goods? We're answering it all on this BiggerNews! In This Episode We Cover Trump vs. Harris' economic plans explained and how they may affect investors More affordable housing and Harris' call to build millions of more housing units Trump's plan to push foreign goods out of the US with higher import tariffs Rolling back Trump's tax cuts and how Harris could increase taxes on corporations and high-earners Social security income and the benefit (but high cost) of lowering taxes on it How both of these plans could affect the national budget deficit  And So Much More!

As retirement approaches, it is important to protect your nest egg and make your money work for you. Timing the markets is nearly impossible, so it is crucial to have a proactive retirement plan in place. Reducing risk and protecting life savings from downturns is essential. Abe discusses one way to mitigate the risk of outliving your assets is through guaranteed income, such as annuities. Annuities can serve as a bond alternative and provide principal protection. It is important to build a retirement plan on a rock-solid foundation and consider diversifying risk within the portfolio. Taking chips off the table and protecting life savings from all potential risks, including market downturns, higher taxes, and healthcare events, is crucial.
