In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Congressman August Pfluger—Chairman of the Republican Study Committee, decorated Air Force veteran, and proud seventh-generation Texan—for an in-depth conversation on the path forward for America's economy, energy independence, and national security. Congressman Pfluger discusses why predictability in the tax code is essential for families, entrepreneurs, and innovators alike. As the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act faces expiration, Pfluger makes the case for why extending—and ideally making permanent—those provisions is not just a matter of policy, but a critical step to preserve America's competitive edge and avoid economic backsliding. He also shares how the Republican Study Committee, now the largest conservative caucus in Congress with 189 members, is working to restore fiscal discipline, protect family-owned farms from devastating inheritance taxes, and ensure American businesses have the confidence to invest and grow. The conversation dives into the real-world impact of smart tax policy, using examples like a small business in rural Ohio that was able to give employees a 40% raise thanks to the Trump tax cuts. Congressman Pfluger also breaks down the growing demand for domestic energy production—driven in part by rising electricity needs from data centers and AI—and why energy security is inseparable from national security. Representing one of the largest and most quintessentially Texan districts in the country, Congressman Pfluger shares what makes his constituents special, why the Permian Basin is a story of American innovation, and what it means to fight for the freedom and opportunity they hold dear. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand how principled leadership, clear policy direction, and bold vision can help secure a stronger future for all Americans.

Divergente Flash by Generative AI #0001L'approfondimento del giornoReferendum: il dibattito silenziosoDibattito sui Referendum Lavoro e Cittadinanza 2025Esaminiamo i cinque referendum abrogativi italiani previsti per giugno 2025, concentrandosi su quattro quesiti riguardanti il lavoro (volti a modificare aspetti del Jobs Act, come licenziamenti e contratti a termine) e uno sulla cittadinanza (proponendo la riduzione del requisito di residenza). Viene analizzato il dibattito sulla partecipazione, con alcuni che la considerano un dovere civico cruciale per il raggiungimento del quorum e l'influenza sulle politiche, mentre altri esprimono scetticismo sulla loro efficacia o suggeriscono l'astensione strategica. Le posizioni dei principali partiti politici e sindacati vengono presentate, evidenziando il supporto ai quesiti da parte di alcuni e la resistenza di altri. Vengono inoltre sollevati i temi della limitata informazione pubblica e della difficoltà storica nel raggiungere la soglia di partecipazione necessaria per la validità dei referendum.

Il Jobs Act, al momento al centro di un acceso dibattito referendario, rappresenta forse l'elemento più qualificante di tutta l'esperienza governativa di Matteo Renzi. Come è noto, si tratta del provvedimento – risalente al 2014 – attraverso il quale venne introdotta, sul mercato del lavoro, una misura che si poneva un duplice obbiettivo: da un lato quello di favorire la flessibilità per le imprese e dall'altro quello di fornire garanzie e tutele ai lavoratori, cercando di ottimizzare la compatibilità delle due esigenze tra di loro. Sui risultati prodotti dal Jobs Act, ci sembra di poter dire che siano stati piuttosto lusinghieri, considerato che, tra il 2015 ed il 2018, al provvedimento dell'esecutivo Renzi è stata attribuita la creazione di oltre un milione di posti di lavoro. Perno della riforma è stato l'introduzione del concetto di “tutele crescenti”, ossia di una forma di contratto a tempo indeterminato, con un meccanismo di protezione progressiva per il lavoratore che, sostanzialmente, costituiva un compromesso ragionevole tra flessibilità e garanzie. Tanto è vero che, nei primi due anni di applicazione del Jobs Act, l'adozione del contratto a tutele crescenti è subito aumentata del 36 %, mentre, contestualmente, diminuivano i contratti a termine. Da allora in poi, questa tendenza si è sempre più rinsaldata, rivelandosi un fattore fondamentale per quanto concerne lo sviluppo dell'occupazione industriale, divenuta ormai un fenomeno alimentato essenzialmente da assunzioni a tempo indeterminato. Certo, è anche vero che il Jobs Act, ha modificato la disciplina dei licenziamenti, abolendo l'obbligo di reintegro in caso di licenziamento illegittimo per sostituirlo con un indennizzo economico...ma ciò è, pur sempre, avvenuto sulla falsa riga di quanto già da tempo era d'uso nelle altre principali economie europee. Ci pare, quindi, di poter parlare di una riforma che diede l'impressione di scaturire da una Sinistra di governo che, sebbene con grave ritardo, aveva finalmente fatto propri i mai tanto rimpianti “meriti e bisogni” di cui Claudio Martelli già parlava al Paese più di quarant'anni fa. Francamente, per quanto possa essere mossa da una incontenibile frenesia di cancellare la stagione del riformismo renziano dalla memoria del suo partito, la scelta di Elly Schlein di sottoscrivere – senza neanche un minimo distinguo – le posizioni di Conte e Landini sul referendum del 25/26 maggio prossimi, ci è parsa sorvolare un po' troppo sulla dignità di tanti parlamentari ed esponenti del PD che, a suo tempo, quella riforma la votarono più che convinti e che oggi devono magari fare buon viso a cattivo gioco per il timore di non essere ricandidati alle prossime elezioni. Pertanto, se ad ispirare la leadership di Elly Schlein sono l'estremismo ambientalista o i recenti e confusi orientamenti in politica estera che hanno portato il PD a differenziarsi dal resto della Socialdemocrazia europea, allora ci pare proprio che Giorgia Meloni possa dormire sonni tranquilli e puntare a restare al potere persino più a lungo della regina Elisabetta.

Michigan Republican Rep. Bill Huizenga on Tuesday confirmed that he is interested in potentially running for the U.S. Senate in 2026. "I am," Huizenga answered when asked if he was considering running for the Senate on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "You know, this was not necessarily on my radar screen when I started this." Huizenga represents Michigan's Fourth Congressional District and has been serving in office since 2011. He said that he is considering a Senate run because President Donald Trump needs allies in the upper chamber. Huizenga said he believes that in the midterm elections, Republicans could keep the House and the Senate if they do the work of getting the budget reconciliation process in place and get the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reinstated. Later, Claire Lopez, a former CIA operations officer and founder of Lopez Liberty LLC, discusses President Trump's upcoming trip to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE. Claire shares insights into the implications of this trip on international relations, particularly regarding the Abraham Accords and the potential for new peace deals in the Middle East. Finally, it's AMAC Wednesday, and AMAC spokesman and Maine Gubernatorial candidate Bobby Charles provides his unique insights on the issues of the day.

Our strategists Michael Zezas and Ariana Salvatore provide context around U.S. House Republicans' proposed tax bill and how investors should view its potential market impact.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Michael Zezas: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michael Zezas, Global Head of Fixed Income Research and Public Policy Strategy.Ariana Salvatore: And I'm Ariana Salvatore, Public Policy Strategist.Michael Zezas: Today, we'll dig into Congress's deliberations on taxes and fiscal spending.It's Wednesday, May 14th at 10am in New York.Michael Zezas: So, Ariana, there's been a lot of news around the tax and spending plans that Congress is pursuing; this fiscal package – and clients are really, really focused on it. You're having a lot of those conversations right now. Why are clients so focused on all of this?Ariana Salvatore: So, clients have reasons to focus on this tax policy bill across equities, fixed income, and for macroeconomic impacts.Starting with equities, there's a lot of the 2017 tax cut bill that's coming up for expiration towards the end of this year. So, this bill is Congress's chance to extend the expiring TCJA. And add on some incremental tax cuts that President Trump floated on the campaign trail. So, there's some really important sector impacts on the specific legislation side. And then as far as the deficit goes, that matters a lot for the economic ramifications next year and for bond yields.But Mike, to pivot this back to you, where do you think investor expectations are for the outcome of this package?Michael Zezas: So there's a lot of moving pieces in this fiscal policy package, and I think what's happening here is that investors can project a lot onto this. They can project a lot of positivity and constructive outcomes for markets; and a lot of negativity and negative outcomes for markets.So, for example, if you are really focused on the deficit impact of cutting taxes and whether or not there's enough spending cuts to offset those tax extensions, then you could look at the array of possible outcomes here and expect a major deficit expansion. And that might make you less constructive on bonds because you would expect yields to go higher as there was greater supply of Treasuries needed to borrow that much to finance the tax cuts. Again, not necessarily fully offset by spending cuts.So, you could look at this and say, well, this will ultimately be something where economic growth helps tax revenues. And you might be looking at the benefits for companies and the feed through to the equity markets and think really positively about it.And we think the truth is probably somewhere in between. You're not going to get policy that really justifies either your highest hopes or your greatest fears here.Ariana Salvatore: So, it's really like a Rorschach test for investors. When we think about our base case, how do you think that's going to materialize? What on the policy front are we watching for?Michael Zezas: Yeah, so we have to consider the starting point here, which is Congress is trying to address a series of tax cuts that are set to expire at the end of the year. And if they extend all of those tax cuts, then on a year-over-year basis, you didn't really change any policy. So that just on its own might not mean a meaningful deficit increase.Now, if Congress is able to extend greater tax cuts on top of that; but it's going to offset those greater tax cuts with spending cuts in revenue raises elsewhere, then again you might end up with a net effect close to zero on a deficit basis.And the way our economists look at this mix is that you might end up with an effect from a stimulus perspective on the economy that's something close to neutral as well. So, there's a lot of policy changes happening beneath the surface. But in the aggregate, it might not mean a heck of a lot for the economic outlook for next year.Now, that doesn't mean that there would be zero deficit increase in the aggregate next year because this is just one policy that is part of a larger set of government policies that make up the total spending posture of the government. There's already something in the range of $200-250 billion of deficit increase that was already going to happen next year. Because of weaker revenue growth on slower economic growth this year, and some spending that would automatically have happened because of inflation cost adjustments and higher interest on the debt. So, long story short, the policy that's happening right now that we think is going to be the endpoint for congressional deliberations isn't something our economists see as meaningfully uplifting growth for next year, and it probably increases the deficit – at least somewhat next year.Now we're thinking very short term here about what happens in 2026. But I think investors need to think around that timeline because if you're thinking about what this means for getting deficits smaller, multiple years ahead, or creating the type of tax environment that might induce greater corporate investment and greater economic growth years ahead – all those things are possible. But they're very hypothetical and they're subject to policy changes that could happen after the next Congress comes in or the next president comes in.So, Ariana, that's the overall look at our base case. But I think it's important to understand here that there are multiple different paths this legislation could follow. Can you explain what are some of the sticking points? And, depending on how they're resolved, how that might change the trajectory of what's ultimately passed here?Ariana Salvatore: There are a number of disagreements that need to be resolved. In particular, one of the biggest that we're focused on is on the SALT cap; so that's the cap on State And Local Tax deductions that individuals can take. That raised about a trillion dollars of revenue in the first iteration of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017.Republicans generally are okay with making a modification to that cap, maybe taking it a bit higher, or imposing some income thresholds. But the SALT caucus, this small group of Republicans in Congress, they're pushing for a full repeal or something bigger than just a small dollar amount increase.There's also a group of moderate Republicans pushing against any sort of spending cuts to programs like Medicaid and SNAP; that's the food stamps program. And then there's another cohort of House Republicans that are seeking to preserve the Inflation Reduction Act. Ultimately, these are all going to be continuous tension points. They're going to have to settle on some pay fors, some savings, and we think where that lands is effectively at a $90 billion or so deficit increase from just the tax policy changes next year.Now with tariff revenue excluded, that's probably closer to [$]130 billion. But Mike, to your point, there are these scheduled increases in outlays that also are going to have to be considered for next year's deficit. So, you're looking at an overall increase of about $310 billion.Michael Zezas: Yeah, I think that's right and the different ways those different dynamics could play out, I think puts us in a range of a $200 billion expansion maybe on the low end, and a $400 billion expansion on the high end. And these are meaningful numbers. But I think important context for investors is that these numbers might seem a lot smaller than some of what's been reported in the press, and that's because the press reports on the congressional budget office scoring, and these are typically 10-year numbers.So, you would multiply that one-year number by 10 at least conceptually. And these are numbers relative to a reality in which the tax cuts were allowed to expire. So, it's basically counting up revenue that is being missed by not allowing the tax cuts to expire. So, the context matters a lot here. And so we have been encouraging investors to really kind of look through the headlines, really kind of break down the context and really kind of focus on the short term impacts because those are the most reliable impacts and the ones to really anchor to; because policy uncertainty beyond a year is substantially higher than even the very high policy uncertainty we're experiencing right now.So, sticking with the theme of uncertainty, let's talk timing here. Like we came into the year thinking this tax bill would be resolved late in the year. Is that still the case or are you thinking it might be a bit sooner?Ariana Salvatore: I think that timing still holds up. Right now, the reconciliation bill is supposed to address the expiring debt ceiling. So, the real deadline for getting the bill done is the X date or the date by which the extraordinary measures are projected to be exhausted. That's the date that we would potentially hit an actual default.Of course, that date is somewhat of a moving target. It's highly dependent on tax receipts from Treasury. But our estimate is that it's somewhere around August or September. In the meantime, there's a number of key catalysts that we're watching; namely, I would say, other projections of the X date coming from Treasury, as well as some of these markups when we start to get more bill text and hear about how some of the disputes are being resolved.As I mentioned, we had text earlier this week, but there's still no quote fix for the SALT cap, and the house is still tentatively pushing for its Memorial Day deadline. That's just six legislative days away.Michael Zezas: Got it. So, I think then that means that we're starting to learn a lot more about how this bill comes together. We will be learning even a lot more over the next few months and while we set out our expectations that you're going to have some fiscal policy expansion. But largely a broadly unchanged posture for U.S. fiscal policy. We're going to have to keep checking those regularly as we get new bits of information coming out of Congress on probably a daily basis at this point.Ariana Salvatore: That's right.Michael Zezas: Great. Well, Ariana, thanks for taking the time to talk.Ariana Salvatore: Great speaking with you, Michael.Michael Zezas: Thank you for your time.

If you've been hearing rumblings about tax changes in 2026, you're not imagining things — we're heading toward one of the biggest tax shifts in decades. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which shaped much of our current tax system, is set to expire unless Congress takes action.  But right now, lawmakers are locked in a high-stakes budget battle, and no one knows exactly how it'll end. This episode breaks down why that matters not just politically — but for your wallet, your financial plan, and the decisions you might want to make before the rules change.

DOGE actions, market/economic conditions, and restructuring have been major drivers of layoffs. US layoffs are at recession levels. Since Donald Trump became president on January 20, 2025, approximately 345,000 jobs have been created, based on available data up to April 2025. This figure comes from a White House memo citing job creation through March 2025, with 228,000 jobs added in March alone. Additionally, February 2025 saw 151,000 jobs added, according to a jobs report. These numbers align with claims from the Trump administration, though they emphasize private-sector growth (54% in non-government sectors) and manufacturing gains (9,000 jobs in February). https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1920847873270264005  https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/1920838414590488902    Trump Says GOP Should ‘Probably Not' Raise Taxes After Reportedly Backing Millionaire Tax “The problem with even a “TINY” tax increase for the RICH, which I and all others would graciously accept in order to   “[Raising taxes on the top level] would be a tax on every small business, every job creator,” Republican Texas Sen.

Josh Hawley, who frequently breaks with his party on economic issues, told the Daily Caller News Foundation on Thursday afternoon that he would be “fine” with the president's millionaire tax proposal. He cautioned that at most two of his Senate GOP colleagues would join him in signing off on the tax hike. Source: dailycaller.com   Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017, which reduced taxes for many, including the wealthy. The law lowered the top individual income tax rate from 39.6% to 37%, doubled the estate tax exemption, and cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, disproportionately benefiting high earners and corporations. Data from the Tax Policy Center shows the top 1% of households received an average tax cut of about $50,000 in 2018, while middle-income households got around $900.  supporters claim it spurred economic growth. https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/1920553634775118283 https://twitter.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1920841070281175489

Iowa Business Report Friday EditionMay 02, 2025  Joseph Bishop-Henchman of the National Taxpayers Union Foundation on the impact on small business if Congress allows the 2017 Tax Cuts & Jobs Act to lapse at the end of 2025.

*Texas farmers and ranchers are in Washington D.C. this week.  *Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lee Zeldin met with Texas farmers.  *Two U.S. cabinet secretaries visited a Central Texas farm.  *A good vaccination program is vital for a cattle operation.  *The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act may get renewed soon.*Texas Congressman August Pfluger is asking the Department of the Interior to remove the dunes sagebrush lizard and the lesser prairie chicken from the threatened and endangered species list.*Rain has been falling on the Texas Southern Plains.   *There are several parasites and diseases that can harm sheep. 

With the reconciliation framework in place, congressional Republicans face the challenge of crafting a final bill. As they aim to solidify tax provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, deliver on promises President Trump made to working-class voters and address broader tax concerns, lawmakers are searching for methods to offset the costs of their ambitious policy agenda. Today, Brownstein's tax team explore proposals gaining traction in Washington, including increasing taxes on individuals earning over $1 million. They'll examine the feasibility of this departure from conservative orthodoxy and discuss alternative strategies Congress might consider.

The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act contains provisions that are set to end in 2025, many of which are beneficial to farmers and ranchers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The PTE Deductions: Don't Miss Out!If you're a dental practice owner in a state with state-level income taxes—this episode is for you. Host Wes Read dives deep into the Pass-Through Entity (PTE) Tax Election, a tax-saving strategy that can turn your state tax payments into a federal tax deduction.This is especially important for dentists in high-tax states like California, New York, or any state with a 4%+ income tax. Wes breaks down what the PTE is, why it matters, and how to use it properly—so you're not leaving money on the table.Takeaways:Who needs to listen: Dentists in states with income taxes—especially high-tax states like CA, NY, NJ, etc.What is the PTE (Pass-Through Entity) Tax? A way to bypass the $10,000 SALT deduction cap on federal returns by paying state income tax through your business entity.Why it matters: Allows for a significant federal tax deduction for taxes you already have to pay.The IRS SALT Deduction Cap: Since the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, there's a $10,000 cap on how much state and local taxes you can deduct when itemizing.How PTE helps: Paying taxes at the entity level converts those state taxes into fully deductible business expenses on your federal return.Watch out: There are rules and deadlines, and not every CPA proactively elects this. Be sure to confirm your CPA is doing this correctly.Standard vs. Itemized Deduction: Wes breaks down how deductions work and why understanding them is crucial for maximizing the PTE benefit.#DentalBoardroomPodcast #DentalCPA #PTETax #DentalPracticeTips #TaxStrategy #HighTaxStates #PracticeCFO #DentalFinance #DentalTaxPlanning #PassThroughEntity #DentistLife #DentalBusiness #PracticeOrbit

Lutz also addressed Florida's property tax elimination proposal, advocating for alternative funding sources and questioning the seriousness of balanced budget efforts.

The most exciting development for investors and entrepreneurs alike is how actionable insights, not just anecdotes or hype, are driving smarter decisions and better results.In this episode, Sherwood Neiss, Principal at Crowdfund Capital Advisors and one of the original architects behind the legislation that made regulated investment crowdfunding possible, shares his unique perspective. Sherwood's new book, Investomers, distills fourteen years of experience, offering a comprehensive look into what makes this industry tick and how anyone—investor, entrepreneur, or policymaker—can benefit.What sets Sherwood apart is a dedication to grounding everything in robust data. Early on, he recognized that the industry needed more than vision; it needed transparency and metrics. “From the minute this industry launched, we've been collecting information, not just on the companies and where they are and their financials and all that stuff, but every day, how much money has been committed to an offering and how many investors. With those data points, we can track what we call investor sentiment,” Sherwood explained.This relentless focus on measurement is not just academic. It empowers investors to make informed decisions and helps founders understand what drives successful campaigns. “The book is a lot of data-driven insights from the work that we've done with investment crowdfunding about the economic rationale for this,” Sherwood shared. He's created tools and reports that highlight where the signals for success are strongest, always encouraging readers and clients to dig into the numbers for themselves.Crucially, Sherwood's work is not just about numbers, but about democratizing access to capital and opportunity. “Many of the reasons for failure is lack of capital, which I'm hoping we're solving for with investment crowdfunding,” he noted, underscoring the human impact behind the data.For those eager to learn more or to leverage these insights in their own investing, Sherwood's company is not currently raising capital from the crowd but is focused on providing invaluable data and advisory services through Crowdfund Capital Advisors and their C-Clear platform. Investomers is available now, offering a blueprint for anyone who wants to invest smarter or build something meaningful in this rapidly evolving space.Sherwood's passion and open-handed approach to sharing what works—and what doesn't—make this episode a resource for anyone looking to turn data into a tool for empowerment and positive change.tl;dr:Sherwood Woodie Neiss shares how data-driven insights are transforming investment crowdfunding for investors and entrepreneurs.He reveals the story behind launching Crowdfund Capital Advisors and building a comprehensive industry database.Sherwood explains how his new book, Investomers, distills years of experience and research into actionable guidance.He describes his superpower: breaking big goals into small steps and using accountability to achieve them.The episode highlights practical strategies for making progress on major projects by leveraging data and discipline.How to Develop Relentless Follow-Through As a SuperpowerWoodie's superpower is his ability to say yes to opportunities and follow through by breaking daunting challenges into manageable steps. As Woodie described, “I am one of these people that I'm a yes man. So I am constantly saying yes, instead of saying, I'm sorry, no, I can't...you need to take anything that you're doing and break it down into 100 steps. And then do one of those a day...the principle of that, the theory behind it is break everything down into small chunks, so that you can accomplish something in a day, in a week or whatever, but it keeps the ball moving forward.”Woodie illustrated this superpower vividly by recounting how he managed to write a 400-page book, Investomers, while juggling his many professional responsibilities. He set a big goal at the start of the year, broke it down into about a hundred discrete steps, and methodically worked through them, bit by bit, over the course of the year. He even enlisted a friend as an accountability partner, meeting weekly to track progress, ensure he stayed on task, and remove nonessential items from his plate. This system helped him complete the book in just over a year while keeping all his other commitments moving forward.To cultivate relentless follow-through, Woodie suggests:Break large goals into small, actionable stepsSet regular milestones and track your progressFind an accountability partner who will meet with you weeklyBe willing to reprioritize and move less important tasks off your plateCommit to a schedule and honor it—treat your accountability meetings as non-negotiableBy following Woodie's example and advice, you can make relentless follow-through a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileWoodie Neiss (he/him):Principal, Crowdfund Capital Advisors, LLCAbout Crowdfund Capital Advisors, LLC:  CCA is a data-driven investment crowdfunding consulting and advisory services firm.

In this episode, Suzanne Spradley and Chase Cannon review a recent industry focus-study on the economic impact of capping or eliminating the tax benefits associated with employer-provided health plans. Suzanne begins by providing a background on the employer-sponsored insurance tax breaks, their impact on employers and employees, and why Congress is considering a potential cap or elimination of those tax breaks. Suzanne and Chase discuss a recent study that addresses the negative downstream impact of such a cap or elimination, including detrimental economic, health insurance coverage, and health outcomes. Employers should be aware of these impacts and outcomes as Congress continues to view healthcare tax benefits as a source of revenue to offset other tax credits and breaks, including those that Congress wants to extend as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (which is set to expire at the end of 2025).

The GGRF is a $27 billion federal financing program that addresses the climate crisis and is injecting billions of dollars in local economic development projects to lower energy prices and reduce pollution especially in the rural, urban, and Indigenous communities most impacted by climate change and frequently left behind by mainstream finance. 2/27 Hundreds fired as layoffs begin at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Guidance - On Thursday, February 27, about 800 employees at NOAA, the agency responsible for the nation's bedrock weather, climate, fisheries, and marine research, were fired in the latest round of Trump administration-led layoffs. The layoffs could jeopardize NOAA's ability to provide life-saving severe weather forecasts, long-term climate monitoring, deep-sea research and fisheries management, and other essential research and policy. 3/10 Energy secretary says climate change a worthwhile tradeoff for growth Announcement - Speaking at the CERAWeek conference, Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the Trump administration sees climate change as “a side effect of building the modern world,” and pledged to “end the Biden administration's irrational, quasi-religious policies on climate change." 3/10 Zeldin, Musk Cut $1.7B in Environmental Justice Grants Guidance - EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the cancellation of 400 environmental justice-related grants, in violation of a court order barring the Trump administration from freezing "equity-based" grants and contracts. 3/11 EPA eliminates environmental justice offices, staff Memorandum - EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin ordered the closure of environmental justice offices at the agency's headquarters and at all 10 regional offices and eliminate all related staff positions "immediately." The reversal comes just days after the EPA reinstated environmental justice and civil rights employees put on leave in early February. 3/12 EPA Announcement to Revise "Waters of the United States" Rule Announcement - The EPA will redefine waters of the US, or WOTUS, to comply with the US Supreme Court's 2023 ruling in Sackett v. EPA, which lifted Clean Water Act jurisdiction on many wetlands, Administrator Lee Zeldin said 3/14 Zeldin releases 31-rollback ‘hit list' Memorandum (announced, not in effect as of 4/10) - EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced plans to dismantle federal air quality and carbon pollution regulations, identifying 31 actions ranging from from soot standards and power plant pollution rules to the endangerment finding – the scientific and legal underpinning of the Clean Air Act. 3/14 EPA halts enforcement of pollution rules at energy facilities Memorandum - According to a leaked memo, the EPA's compliance office has halted enforcement of pollution regulations on energy facilities and barred consideration of environmental justice concerns. The memo states: "Enforcement and compliance assurance actions shall not shut down any stage of energy production (from exploration to distribution) or power generation absent an imminent and substantial threat to human health or an express statutory or regulatory requirement to the contrary.” 3/14 Trump revokes order encouraging renewables EO - Trump signed an executive order rescinding a Biden-era proclamation encouraging the development of renewable energy. Biden's order under the Defense Production Act permitted the Department of Energy to direct funds to scale up domestic production of solar and other renewable technologies. 3/17 EPA plans to eliminate science staff Memorandum - Leaked documents describe plans to lay off as many as 1,155 scientists from labs across the country. These chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists are among the experts who monitor air and water quality, cleanup of toxic waste, and more. 3/16 EPA invites waivers on mercury pollution and other hazardous pollutants Memorandum - The EPA invited coal- and oil-fired power plants to apply for exemptions to limits on mercury and other toxic pollutants under the Clean Air Act. Mercury is an extremely dangerous pollutant that causes brain damage to babies and fetuses; in addition to mercury, pollution from power plants includes hazardous chemicals that can lead to cancer, or damage to the lungs, kidneys, nervous system and cardiovascular system. 4/3 Trump administration adds "deregulation suggestion" website A new page on regulations.gov allows members of the public to submit "deregulation" ideas. The move is the latest in the Trump administration's efforts to slash public health, safety, and climate safeguards, and comes soon after the administration offered companies the opportunity to send the EPA an email if they wished to be exempted from Clean Air Act protections. 4/8 Series of four EOs to boost coal  EO - Under the four orders, Trump uses his emergency authority to allow some older coal-fired power plants set for retirement to keep producing electricity to meet rising U.S. power demand amid growth in data centers, artificial intelligence and electric cars. Trump also directed federal agencies to identify coal resources on federal lands, lift barriers to coal mining and prioritize coal leasing on U.S. lands. In a related action, Trump also signed a proclamation offering coal-fired power plants a two-year exemption from federal requirements to reduce emissions of toxic chemicals such as mercury, arsenic and benzene. 4/9 Executive Order Attacking State Climate Laws EO - Directs the U.S. Attorney General to sue or block state climate policies deemed "burdensome" to fossil fuel interests — including laws addressing climate change, ESG investing, carbon taxes, and environmental justice. 4/9 New expiration dates on existing energy rules EO - The order directs ten agencies and subagencies to assign one-year expiration dates to existing energy regulations. If they are not extended, they will expire no later than September 30, 2026, according to a White House fact sheet on the order. The order also said any new regulations should include a five-year expiration, unless they are deregulatory. That means any future regulations would only last for five years unless they are extended. 4/17 Narrow Endangered Species Act to allow for habitat destruction The Trump administration is proposing to significantly limit the Endangered Species Act's power to preserve crucial habitats by changing the definition of one word: harm. The Endangered Species Act prohibits actions that “harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect” endangered plants and animals. The word “harm” has long been interpreted to mean not just the direct killing of a species, but also severe harm to their environment

Tariffs, Tax Cuts & the Corporate Scam Economy In this episode of The Electorette, host Jen Taylor-Skinner sits down with Lindsay Owens, Executive Director of Groundwork Collaborative, to dissect the chaos of Trump's economic policies—and the hidden logic behind them. From erratic tariff announcements to the looming extension of the 2017 tax cuts for the wealthy, Lindsay reveals how economic “whiplash” is not just confusing—it's calculated. We explore how these policies are fueling inequality, harming working families, and creating fertile ground for corporate profiteering. Lindsay also explains how recession fears—some legitimate, others manufactured—are being used as cover for price gouging, layoffs, and cuts to essential services like Medicaid and food assistance. This episode also revisits the devastating legacy of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, its role in pandemic-era profiteering, and why the American public never saw the promised benefits. With recession risks rising and the corporate safety net growing stronger while ours is being shredded, this is a must-listen for anyone trying to make sense of the headlines—and the high prices. (00:00) Tariffs and Economic Uncertainty Trump's tariffs create economic uncertainty, disproportionately affecting working and middle-class Americans while benefiting the wealthy and potentially causing a recession. (08:52) Effects of Economic Policies on Americans Trump's economic policies create uncertainty, risking recession and exploitation, with potential foreign policy motivations behind the trade war with China. (21:44) The Impact of Economic Policies Nature's impact on inflation in America and other countries, Biden's successful management, corporate price gouging, concerns about budget resolution's consequences. (30:49) Republican Tax Cuts Under Trump Presidency Republican trifecta focuses on tax breaks for the wealthy, with potential economic impacts and political motivations discussed by Lindsay Owens. #Tariffs #Shrinkflation #TaxCuts #TrumpEconomy #RecessionWatch #LindsayOwens #EconomicJustice #Electorette #GroundworkCollaborative #PriceGouging #BidenEconomy #ConsumerConfidence #PoliticalPodcast #FeministMedia #Medicaid Learn more about your ad choices.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is set to expire at the end of this year, eliminating many beneficial provisions for farmers and ranchers. Chad Smith has details.

Today is officially Tax Day, and parts of the tax code have changed significantly over the years. One significant change occurred during President Donald Trump's first term with the implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Currently, Republicans hold a supermajority, and it's time to renew many of the cuts established in 2017 that are set to expire soon. While many GOP members advocate for maintaining these cuts, some are seeking modifications. FOX Business Anchor David Asman joins the Rundown to explain what these tax cuts entail, why many in the business community believe they'd be beneficial to remain in effect, and why extending them may still be a political challenge. Many police departments across the U.S. have a shared problem: not enough officers. In one survey by the International Association of Police Chiefs, nearly two-thirds of responding departments are reducing services---or specialized units--to meet patrol needs. This can also mean that police can respond to calls or solve crimes. Criminologist Alex del Carmen discusses how negative publicity about police work has made the nationwide police shortage worse, and what he thinks can be done to help recruitment. Plus, commentary from columnist David Marcus.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Tax season is in full swing, and in this Tax Tuesday episode, Anderson Advisors attorneys Amanda Wynalda, Esq., and Eliot Thomas, Esq., tackle numerous listener tax questions with practical advice. They discuss the Section 121 exclusion for primary residences, explaining how married couples filing separately can each qualify for the $250,000 capital gains exclusion. They outline strategies for converting personal residences to rental properties using S-corporations and installment sales to maximize tax benefits. Amanda and Eliot clarify 401(k) withdrawal rules, explaining when penalties apply and options like the Rule of 55 and hardship withdrawals. You'll hear recommendations on optimal entity structures for real estate syndications, explanations of the short-term rental "loophole" for active income classification, and when to use trading partnerships versus simple LLCs for investment accounts. The episode concludes with a breakdown of key Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions set to expire in 2025, including individual tax brackets, standard deduction changes, child tax credits, and bonus depreciation, highlighting potential impacts for taxpayers.   Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics:   "I understand that you can sell your primary residence and receive an exclusion from capital gains taxes on the first $250,000 if you're single and $500,000 if you're married filing jointly. However, I can't find any rules regarding if you're married filing separately. Could you please confirm if married filing separate also qualifies for the exclusion? Also, could you talk about how making improvements adds to the basis?" - Yes, both spouses filing separately can each get the $250,000 exclusion. Only one spouse needs to be on the title, but both must use it as a primary residence for 2 of the last 5 years. Improvements (new floors, additions, HVAC systems) add to your basis, which reduces taxable gain when you sell. "Can I use both cost segregation and bonus depreciation from an S-corp you sell your personal residence to for the Section 121 exemption? Also, what is the accounting treatment if you sold your personal residence to an S-corp using an installment sale?" - Yes to cost seg, no to bonus depreciation (not allowed for related-party transactions). For accounting, record the property as an asset on the S-corp with a liability for the note owed to you personally. You'll recognize all gain in year of sale (which is actually beneficial to utilize the Section 121 exclusion), and interest payments will be recorded as interest income. "Do I have to officially quit my job and be retired to take disbursements from my 401k? At what age can I take disbursements from my 401k? Are there any negative tax implications from taking early disbursements?" - You don't need to quit your job to take distributions if you're 59½ or older, though your specific plan may have different rules. Early withdrawals before 59½ incur a 10% penalty plus ordinary income tax, unless you qualify for exceptions like the Rule of 55 (if you leave your job at 55+) or hardship withdrawals for specific situations. "What is the best entity for tax purposes to invest in real estate syndications?" - A Wyoming LLC (disregarded) or partnership is typically best. This gives liability protection while letting income/losses flow directly to your personal return (important for using passive losses). Avoid S-Corps (reasonable wage requirements) and C-Corps (trap gains/losses on corporate return). "Regarding bonus depreciation and the short-term rental loophole, are either the 500 hours or 100 hours and, more than anyone else, material participation tests prorated for the year? For example, if a property is purchased and put into service in November, those hours would be difficult to achieve." - No, these hours are not prorated. You must meet the full hour requirements between purchase and December 31st. Consider using the "substantially all participation" test if you personally perform nearly all work needed, even if under 100 hours. "If I purchased an investment apartment and repaired windows, floors and incurred other miscellaneous expenses to make it ready for renters, can I write the expense off on my Schedule E? I didn't receive any income for that apartment as of yet." - You can only deduct expenses after the property is "placed in service" (available for rent). If not in service yet, these costs must be added to the property's basis and depreciated. The $2,500 de minimis rule lets you expense (not capitalize) individual purchases under $2,500, but only after the property is in service. "I'm starting to do wholesale investments. I'm still a W-2 employee, yet I will resign soon. Is it recommended that I start my LLC now, and why?" - Yes, start your LLC now for liability protection when entering contracts. Begin with a disregarded LLC in the state where you're wholesaling. Once established and generating consistent income, consider making an S-Corporation election to save on self-employment taxes. "I have a trading account, but I do not actively trade in it. Should I set up a trading partnership for it?" - If you're not actively trading, a simple Wyoming LLC for asset protection is sufficient. For active traders with significant expenses, consider the limited partnership structure with a C-Corporation general partner to shift some income and deduct expenses that aren't allowed on personal returns.

Marc & Kim welcome David McGarry, Research Director at the Taxpayers Protection Alliance, to break down what's really at stake this Tax Day. With the Trump-era tax cuts from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act set to expire, Americans face a looming increase in personal and corporate tax rates—unless Congress steps in. McGarry warns that while big corporations may weather the storm, it's small businesses and working Americans who'll bear the brunt. He also discusses the sharp divide between House and Senate budget proposals and the uncertain reconciliation process holding tax relief hostage in D.C.

It's tax day, but some of the important policies that are helping your farm maintain profitability are in jeopardy if the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 is allowed to expire this year. Provisions like the Qualified Business Income Deduction, 100% Bonus Depreciation, and the increased Estate Tax Exemption are critically important to producers across the country. So in this episode, we're talking with two of NCGA's foremost experts about how these policies benefit farmers… and what we can do to preserve them. Andy Jobman is a farmer from Gothenburg, Nebraska, and chairs NCGA's Risk Management Action Team, which has been researching the effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act at the farm gate and building up our case to preserve it. And Wayne Stoskopf is NCGA's Director of Public Policy, serving as the D.C. staff liaison for all matters involving tax policy. Together, they'll explain why farmers can't afford to lose these tax protections, what it means for rural communities, and why it's critical for growers to contact their legislators about this issue.

Behind every great moment of American prosperity, there's been a bold move to let people keep more of what they earn. In this episode of American Potential, host David From is joined by Chris Stio, Deputy Director of Staff Training at Americans for Prosperity, to trace the powerful history of tax reform in America—from the Civil War to JFK, from Reagan to the modern-day Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. It's more than a policy discussion—it's a story of what happens when government gets out of the way and trusts people to build, create, and thrive. Drawing on decades of economic history, Chris explains how lowering taxes has consistently empowered individuals, sparked growth, and lifted millions. He also reveals how the language we use—words like “tax relief”—can inspire action and shape the national conversation. As Tax Day approaches and Congress debates whether to let tax hikes kick in, this conversation is a rallying cry for action. Because when we cut through the noise and stand up for real reform, we're not just defending numbers on a page—we're defending opportunity, dignity, and the very promise of the American Dream.

In this episode, we discuss the budget blueprint passed by House Republicans to extend the temporary provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which are set to expire at the end of 2025 without legislative action.

Newt talks with Congressman Wesley Hunt (TX-38th), a U.S. Army veteran and Apache helicopter pilot. He discusses his recent appointment by President Trump to the Board of Visitors for the United States Military Academy at West Point. Hunt shares insights into his family's long history of military service, his experiences at West Point, and his combat deployments to Iraq and Saudi Arabia. He emphasizes the importance of leadership, duty, and honor, and critiques the influence of "woke" ideologies on military institutions. Hunt also highlights his legislative priorities, including extending the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, reducing national debt, and unleashing American energy. Additionally, he introduces the bipartisan Sneaker Caucus initiative aimed at fostering unity in Congress. The Sneaker Caucus will host a “Sneaker Day” event on Capitol Hill on May 21st.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rich welcomes Rep. Mark Harris (R-NC) for a discussion of the House budget resolution, the SAVE Act, and other news of the day. Later, the Job Creators Network is urging Congress to extend the 2017 Tax Cuts & Job Act; we hear from the group's CEO, Alfredo Ortiz. Plus, Mandy Gunasekara, former Chief of Staff at the EPA and author of "Y'all Fired: A Southern Belle's Guide to Restoring Federalism and Draining the Swamp," gives her assessment of current administrator Lee Zeldin, and offers thoughts on RINO members of Congress who are moving to block President Trump's tariffs strategy.

Michael talks trade and tariffs with former Louisiana Lt. Governor and former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, who also served as President Biden's senior advisor for Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act implementation. He compares trade relationships with other countries under Biden versus today, and the impact of U.S. jobs and the economy. And, they discuss today's Smerconish.com poll question on whether what President Trump is doing with tariffs now is a permanent part of his trade policy, or, a negotiating tactic. Original air date 8 April 2025.

This episode explains bonus depreciation—certain assets like computers or fuel can be fully deducted at the time of purchase, while buildings are depreciated over time unless components like sidewalks or HVAC systems qualify for faster, accelerated depreciation. Thanks to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, 100% bonus depreciation now applies even to used assets, making cost segregation studies more valuable for identifying eligible components and maximizing deductions—learn more at https://www.recostseg.com.   This episode was originally posted on June 19, 2023   If you liked this clip, you can watch the full 90 minute discussion on my YouTube channel.   Here's part 1: https://youtu.be/3v_hFH9yr68?si=NVhPuY2IlepGFgTp   and part 2: https://tinyurl.com/5n72edjn   Thanks for listening!   Like this video?

What happens when your business isn't just about profit—but about people? In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with RF Buche, a fourth-generation grocer in South Dakota who's carrying on a 120-year family legacy in some of the poorest and most underserved areas of the country. With 24 stores spread across rural South Dakota, RF has seen firsthand the struggles families face—poverty, food insecurity, lack of basic services, and isolation. That's why he created Team Buche Cares, a nonprofit that provides food, heating assistance, cancer support, and “underdog” scholarships to help people rise above difficult circumstances. RF shares powerful stories from his community—including how feeding children helped lower suicide rates—and he explains how the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act helped him grow his business and give back in bigger ways. He also warns what could happen if Congress lets those tax cuts expire. If you believe in the power of small businesses to change lives—and the importance of public policy that supports them—this is a must-listen.

It appears there’s movement in the Senate to get closer to one big, beautiful bill. But not without some Republicans causing trouble for the Trump agenda. Stigall names names and puts them on blast today. Same story for the slap-fighting between Republicans in the House. Daniel Turner from Power The Future and Stigall discuss what has happened to small-town America over the last 30 years under NAFTA and you’ll hear some surprise audio from a voice sounding strangely like Trump’s today on tariff policy on the Democrat side. A former Army ranger discusses the new DOD fitness requirement for all enlisted combat-ready troops, and how likely are we to get to the finish line for Trump’s Tax-Cuts and Jobs Act? Jim Pfaff of the Conservative Caucus breaks it down. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShow-Global Coin, for exclusive listener offers go to https://www.shopglobalcoin.com/pages/stigall or call 1-888-560-3125.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He also dives into the challenges of government regulations, the impact of high taxes on business decisions, and the importance of keeping economic policies that empower entrepreneurs. Tune in for an inspiring story of resilience, service, and success, and learn why policies that support small businesses matter for every American.
