After pretty much telling us to calm the farm over the fuel situation, I can't believe the government is getting all antsy about its fuel tax increase - due to kick-in at the start of next year. Yesterday, when Finance Minister Nicola Willis gave her regular fuel update, she said it is “very unlikely” that the Government will go ahead with the 12 percent-per-litre increase in January. Why's that? Because the Government doesn't think people can afford it. Due to the increased costs caused by the war in Iran. But I don't think the country can afford not to increase the taxes. Because, as the finance minister said herself yesterday, no increase in the fuel tax is going to mean less money for road maintenance and road construction. Anyone who thinks this would be a good idea obviously has a very short memory. Because it was only two months when the automobile association released the findings of its most recent research survey of motorists, which found that more than half of us think our roads are rubbish. Fifty-four percent of people surveyed by the AA said they were frustrated by the state of our roads. South Canterbury was one of the areas where people were most unhappy. More than 60 percent of people there said they thought the roads were in cruddy condition. And, at the time, aa spokesperson Dylan Thomsen said his organisation had been pushing for better maintenance of roads for years. Two months ago, he said: “We are very pleased that there has been a big increase in funding and focus on maintenance with initiatives like the government's pothole fund. Hopefully we've turned a corner and we'll see aa members happier with their roads in future surveys.” That's not going to happen if the government does do what Nicola Willis was talking about yesterday and does press pause on fuel tax increases. As Chris Bishop has said previously about fuel taxes. He says they “go into the roads, maintenance, public transport, the new projects we want to build, the new public transport projects we want to build, all of those things have to be paid for.” Adding that the Government “doesn't have an unlimited credit card”. So the Government, if it's totally honest, obviously thinks that increasing fuel taxes is a no-brainer. Which it is. So why is it saying now that it's probably not going to? Because it doesn't think it would be fair and reasonable to make us pay more for fuel when we are already, because of what's going on in the Middle East. I get that. But it's just politics. Because, if you think beyond the here and now and think about the state of our roads, then you too will, hopefully, see that this move - over time - would be a major step backwards.

A new economic analysis projects Washington's 2025 tax increases could slow economic growth and reduce worker wages over the next several years. In this opinion column, Todd Myers of the Washington Policy Center discusses a study estimating the impact of Business and Occupation tax increases and expanded sales taxes on services, and argues the policies could affect the state's business climate and long-term economic growth.

British Columbia's Finance Minister Brenda Bailey said that the budget she brought down on Tuesday wasn't an austerity budget. However, key spending areas have been given very small budget increases spread over the three-year fiscal plan, which will mean real cuts to services. In addition, the B.C. government's tax increases will hit low- to moderate income households. In their analysis released Tuesday, Marc Lee and Andrew Longhurst say the budget lays a financial burden on the poorest in BC. Marc Lee is an economist with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. He joins me today to talk about this week's provincial budget.

Steve Forbes, the editor-in-chief of Forbes Media, the host of the "What's Ahead" podcast, and a two-time U.S. Presidential candidate is speaking at North Dakota State University later this month as part of the Challey Institute's Menard Family Distinguished Speaker Series. He dropped by Plain Talk ahead of that speech to talk about some of the economic issues pressing on North Dakotans. Specifically, tariffs, which haven't just made selling crops and livestock harder for farmers and ranchers, but has also driven up their costs. "Tariff is another word for tax, and when you impose a tax you are imposing a barrier of sorts between buyer, seller, producer and consumer," Forbes said. He argues that sweeping and uncertain tariffs, that can change wildly day-to-day based on the whims of President Donald Trump, are slowing down the economy. He also thinks they're illegal. "Tariffs, because they're taxes, have to go through Congress, and most of those haven't gone through that kind of process," he said, adding that he hopes the U.S. Supreme Court will strike them down. But even setting aside they're legality, the tariffs aren't something Republicans should be supporting, Forbes said. "Republicans should not be in favor of tax increases," he told us. Forbes also criticized what he described as "weak dollar" currency policies from the Trump administration — "great countries don't trash their money," he said — and called for a "stable, strong dollar" which will lead to lower interest rates and prevent inflation. Forbes will be espeaking at NDSU on October 23 at 5:30pm. Click here for more information on how to attend in-person or virtually.

Governor Ferguson was kind of a wild card as legislators worked on shoring up a $16 billion budget gap this year. The Democratic governor had been unusually friendly to Republicans and signaled he was open to their ideas for how to fill the deficit. Meanwhile, Democrats in the state house and senate have publicly insisted that they have a good relationship with the governor, even as he shot down some of their proposals to generate revenue, like a new wealth tax. The weeks of wondering whether the Governor would make major changes to the Democrat-passed general fund and transportation budget are finally over. Yesterday afternoon, the Governor gave his approval to nearly all of the budget proposals. Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

Tax policy has been a core part of the Republican party. A central feature within the GOP, particularly since Reagan, has been cutting taxes for corporations and some of the wealthiest Americans. President Trump, breaking away from traditional party orthodoxy, recently raised the idea of increasing taxes on some of the country's richest. Our guest this week points out that Republicans have made a “devil's bargain” with Trump. Arjun Singh is the co-host and senior producer of the Lever Time podcast.

There can be little doubt we're at a material juncture: Deficit spending and the resulting pile of debts and other sovereign liabilities are starting to place real limits on our economic prosperity. In addition to these legacies of the past, the future is fast becoming more uncertain as many nations -- the US in particular -- are embarking on new policy directions very different from the status quo of recent decades.Where is all this heading?And are our odds for entering a better tomorrow increasing or decreasing?To help us wrestle with these very large and important questions, we have the great privilege of speaking today with Jeffrey Sachs, professor of economics at Columbia, bestselling author, and global leader in sustainable development.A survey by The Economist ranked Professor Sachs as among the three most influential living economists -- and it is an honor to welcome him to this program for the first, of hopefully many future appearances.TIME'S RUNNING OUT!

In a captivating new episode of *American Potential*, host Jeff Crank welcomes Resa Camoriano, an extraordinary citizen who took a stand against a significant property tax increase in her local school district. Fueled by a desire for greater transparency and accountability, Resa spearheaded a movement that not only challenged the status quo but also inspired legislative change. With over 38,000 signatures gathered on a petition to demand a vote on the tax increase, Resa's campaign faced fierce opposition from the school board and the teachers' union, leading to a high-stakes legal battle.    Despite the court ruling against her group, the spotlight on the issue prompted the legislature to lower the signature threshold for future petitions and consider a bill necessitating voter approval for substantial tax hikes. Resa's story is a testament to the power of grassroots activism and the impact determined individuals can have on the governance of their communities.    Join us as Resa shares her journey, from the strategic collection of signatures during the peak of the pandemic to navigating the complexities of legal challenges, and ultimately, to her ongoing advocacy for citizen involvement in democratic processes. Through her beekeeping anecdotes and reflections on the lawsuit's outcomes, Resa's insights offer a compelling narrative of resilience, community mobilization, and the drive to effectuate meaningful change.   Check out Voice of the Artic here: https://voiceofthearcticinupiat.org    Check out American Potential here: https://americanpotential.com   Check out our Spanish episodes here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8wSZydeKZ6uOuFlT_1QQ53L7l6AmC83c   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmericanPotentialPodcast     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/americanpotentialpodcast/   X: https://twitter.com/AMPotentialPod
