On July 4, President Trump signed a sweeping new law that makes major changes to the social safety net—with serious consequences for families and children. Child and family policy expert Professor Taryn Morrissey breaks down the Republican-backed legislation, which slashes Medicaid, SNAP, and other key supports that millions of families rely on. She examines how the law shifts resources away from low-income and younger Americans—especially children—and toward wealthier, older households. Morrissey discusses how these changes could make inequality worse and what it would actually mean to put kids at the center of national policy. For more on this topic: Read Morrissey's recent opinion article published in The Hill: Trump's Medicaid and SNAP red tape will devastate millions of Americans  Read her op-ed published in The Progressive: GOP Tax Bill Will Hurt Children and Families Check out the book she co-authored, Cradle to Kindergarten: A New Plan to Combat Inequality   DrKfdZ5s5lsT6o5wu9hU

On this follow-up segment of Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio, Cleve Gaddis continues his enlightening conversation with Expert Advisor Michael Crew, CEO of Homeowner Management Services, Inc., diving even deeper into the world of HOA reserves and how they impact today's homebuyers and sellers. With HOA-related costs becoming more of a concern for buyers, many are asking: “How do I know I won't get hit with a surprise special assessment after I move in?” In this episode, Cleve and Michael explore how a properly managed reserve fund—and a recent industry shift—can offer a true safety net for buyers. They discuss: Why today's buyers are demanding transparency about HOA reserves before making an offer. The growing popularity of reserve studies and how they're becoming a key factor in real estate negotiations. What questions smart buyers should ask about an HOA's financial health—and how sellers can proactively prepare. The reality behind “surprise” costs in communities and how to avoid them altogether. Cleve also briefly touches on the 2025 Georgia State Legislative session—where, surprisingly, no major laws or changes affecting HOAs were passed. But don't get too comfortable; there's always the possibility of new proposals next year. Whether you're buying into an HOA community, serving on your neighborhood board, or simply want to avoid being blindsided by future repair bills, this segment provides insight, strategy, and clarity.

In this episode of Retire with Style, Alex Murguia and Wade Pfau explore Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) and their role in retirement planning. They cover the history of TIPS, their tax implications, and how they help protect against inflation. The conversation also addresses the drawbacks of TIPS, current market conditions, and the importance of clear communication- especially for couples where one partner is less engaged in financial matters.   Takeaways TIPS were introduced in 1997 to protect against inflation. TIPS provide a real rate of return that adjusts with inflation. Tax implications of TIPS make them less efficient than other investments. It's important to consider the inflation protection TIPS offer in retirement planning. Market timing is not a sound strategy for investing in TIPS. Communicating financial plans should focus on meaning rather than just numbers. Delaying Social Security can provide inflation-adjusted income. Laddering SPIAs can be an effective strategy for income planning. Understanding your spouse's values can enhance financial discussions. Having a contingency plan for financial management is crucial.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to TIPS and Their Importance 02:57 Understanding TIPS: Historical Context and Current Trends 06:00 Tax Implications and Asset Location for TIPS 09:01 Inflation Protection Strategies in Retirement 12:01 Evaluating the Downsides of TIPS 14:58 Conclusion and Final Thoughts on TIPS 18:21 Understanding TIPS and Their Role in Portfolios 27:15 Communicating Financial Plans to Less Interested Spouses   Links Explore the New RetireWithStyle.com!

The Safety Net of Strong Rapport   Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.  You meet somebody for the first time, what is it you look for? Things in common, right? Because once we have something in common, we can then like each other. Now, not like each other in the way you're thinking, meaning we are like each other on some level.  That is the basis on which we will allow somebody else to be in a relationship with us, or we influence them, or they influence us, okay? And it is how we're wired. Like if you didn't wake up today and say, ah, I did rapport yesterday, I'm not gonna do it today. That was exhausting. You have to have it every day because it's how we feel safe, right? So now this is good news for some of you because you're just like, oh, I don't know if I'm the most likable person. I'll leave it to you to decide. If you create commonality, the other person cannot help but like you. This might be the best thing you learned in this whole conference.  Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.  

Charlie Shields, the CEO of University Health in Kansas City, says federal Medicaid cuts passed in President Trump's recent budget bill are likely to pose challenges for the hospital system. University Health relies on Medicaid reimbursements more than other providers in the metro.

Let's talk about the most essential job that no one wants to call a job: the work done inside the home. Parenting. Caregiving. Running a household. It's all real work — valuable, skilled, and foundational. And yet, it's often dismissed, devalued, and definitely unpaid. This week, we're going all in on the fight to change that narrative. Nicole is joined by historian and professor Emily Callaci, whose latest book Wages for Housework: The Feminist Fight Against Unpaid Labor uncovers the radical movement that dared to ask: what if we paid people for domestic labor? What if the backbone of our economy — caregiving and home-making — was finally treated like the work it actually is? We unpack the historical, political, and economic forces that keep unpaid labor invisible, and what it means to truly value the labor that happens in homes across the world. This episode is fiery, informed, and long overdue. Because here's the truth: without unpaid labor, nothing else works.

Note: This episode was recorded before the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025. Today, we discuss poverty, the social detriments of health, and safety net programs in the U.S. with Robert Greenstein, founder and former president of the D.C.-based think tank Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP). Bob is one of America's leading experts on federal budget, tax policy and safety net programs. Odds are that you or someone you know got more services from the government—health insurance, financial help, food assistance—because of Bob's life work. Over the past 40 years, he has worked tirelessly to address poverty in U.S. and help make healthcare accessible to all. Bob and CBPP played a major role in expanding our nation's nutritional programs like SNAP (a.k.a. food stamps) and WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. He and the CBPP helped expand the earned income tax credit (EITC) for low- and moderate-income families. And he and the organization helped get Obamacare passed and continue to defend it and Social Security from all comers. ◘ Transcript bit.ly/3JoA2mz ◘ This podcast features the song “Follow Your Dreams” (freemusicarchive.org/music/Scott_Ho…ur_Dreams_1918) by Scott Holmes, available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial (01https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/) license. ◘ Disclaimer: The content and information shared in GW Integrative Medicine is for educational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice.

On today's episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, James Ross is back in the host's chair to discuss a couple of controversial topics, one from the UK and one from Colombia. Firstly in the UK, where an undercover BBC reporter reportedly accessed adult gaming centres (AGCs) in South England while on a self-exclusion list, raising concerns about player safety. The guys discuss the response from John Bollum, BACTA President who called for "unity within the sector" to quickly address any mistakes and emphasised the industry's commitment to "the highest standards in the UK". James and Vik also cover common criticisms levelled at AGCs, such as their location in poverty-stricken areas and late operating hours, and explore the significant pushback from 39 local governments, who co-signed a letter to the DCMS Secretary calling for increased controls, particularly regarding planning applications.In the second part of the pod, the guys delve into the sensational controversy surrounding the state-run Medellin lottery, where a £3 million jackpot winner was revealed to be Louisa Jamo, the wife of the lottery's deputy boss. They clue you in on the fallout, including the investigation into the scandal by Coljuegos, and even Colombian President Gustavo Petro sharing the story on social media, highlighting the critical nature and integrity concerns surrounding the situation.Host: James RossGuests: Viktor KayedProducer: Anaya McDonaldEditor: James RossiGaming Daily is also now on TikTok.

Uninsured individuals often rely on hospitals for emergency care, the most expensive part of the health system. That cost doesn't disappear—it shows up in everyone's insurance premiums. This episode helps reframe affordability by examining how charity care, Medicaid, and federal subsidies work together to manage that cost upstream. In this episode, we explore the hidden costs of uncompensated care, how hospitals and insurers work together to support vulnerable populations, and the impact of federal and state policy decisions on health insurance coverage rates in Michigan. Key Takeaways: · Uncompensated care impacts everyone. · Safety net programs are essential to affordability. · Policy decisions carry affordability consequences . · We need upstream solutions.

Eternal security means that those who are truly saved will persevere to the end because their salvation is the work of God from start to finish. It's not about our strength or performance, but about God's faithfulness. The guys emphasize that fear of losing salvation often stems from focusing too much on ourselves rather than the finished work of Christ. They explain that a true believer will show signs of transformation—a changed heart, godly desires, and grief over sin. Even when we fall short, Jesus is our advocate. If someone walks away from the faith, they were never truly part of it. God will complete the work He began, and nothing can snatch His children from His hand.Send us a textThanks for listening!
