Podcasts about us budget

Elon Musk has spent a lot of time inside the Oval Office since Donald Trump returned to the White House. It was from there that the world's richest man, sporting a black eye, was farewelled from his role in the Trump administration on Friday. He insists his so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, has made great progress, cutting more than $150 billion from the US budget. But that falls well short of his initial wildly optimistic claims that he could slash one trillion dollars in government spending. Today, staff writer at The Atlantic magazine, Ashley Parker, on Elon's exit and whether that's really the end of involvement with the Trump administration.    Featured: Ashley Parker, staff writer at The Atlantic

Kostenlose Workshop Anmeldung 25. März 2025 http://richtiganlegen.ch/workshop Kostenloses Beratungsgespräch - jetzt Termin vereinbaren https://richtiganlegen.ch/#Kontakt In dieser Folge tauchen wir ein in das Refinanzierungs-Dilemma der USA: Rund 9 Billionen US-Dollar müssen 2025 neu aufgenommen werden – und das zu deutlich höheren Zinsen als in der Vergangenheit. Was bedeutet das für das US-Budget, die Notenbankpolitik und die Stabilität der Finanzmärkte? Ich zeige dir, warum diese Entwicklung nicht nur Washington betrifft, sondern auch Anlegerinnen und Anleger weltweit.

For review:1. US and Israeli Officials reach out to Sudan, Somalia, & Somaliland to discuss Palestinian resettlement during US proposed Gaza reconstruction plan. Officials from Sudan and Somalia said they had rejected overtures from the US, while officials Somaliland told The AP that they were not aware of any contacts.2. US President Donald Trump has praised talks held with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the US proposed ceasefire deal with Ukraine as "good and productive". This comes after Putin and US envoy Steve Witkoff met in Moscow on Thursday evening.3. NSA Mike Waltz on Ukraine- Russia Negotiations - "Both sides are going to have to make compromises." 4. B-52 Bomber Flyover Marks Sweden's NATO Anniversary. In addition, the bombers were taking part in a Bomber Task Force mission called Viking Nebula, alongside a pair of Swedish JAS 39 Gripens. The Swedish fighters escorted the B-52s to Vidsel Test Range, where the bombers released GBU-30 joint direct attack munitions. USAF said this was the B-52s' first live weapons drop in Sweden since the country joined NATO last year.5. US Budget CR Passes Senate. The Senate approved a funding bill that will keep federal agencies funded until Sept. 30, with a $892.5 billion defense topline that slightly exceeds that of fiscal 2024.6. The US Senate today confirmed billionaire financier Stephen Feinberg to be the Defense Department's number two official. Mr. Feinberg's nomination was cleared in a 59-40 vote this afternoon.

For review:1. Ukraine Will Agree to a 30 Day Ceasefire with Russia - US to Restart Military Aid and Intel Sharing. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio:  "We'll take this offer now to the Russians. And we hope that they'll say yes, that they'll say yes to peace. The President's objective here is, number one, above everything else, he wants the war to end, and I think today Ukraine has taken a concrete step in that regard. We hope the Russians will reciprocate." 2. Iranian President to President Trump: "Do Whatever the Hell You Want."   Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tuesday that his country would not negotiate with the United States over its nuclear program while being threatened.3. Israel and Lebanon agreed on Tuesday to open negotiations to delineate the border between the two countries, the Prime Minister's Office said.  Jerusalem and Beirut negotiated a maritime boundary in 2022 — but the two countries have yet to adopt an official land border. 4. Israeli journalists tour IDF posts atop Mount Hermon, on Syrian side of border.  The IDF has established nine military posts inside Syrian territory, including two atop Mount Hermon. Three IDF brigades, under the 210th Bashan Regional Division, are deployed to the area. 5.  Latest US Budget News: The Republican-led House voted Tuesday to pass a six-month funding bill that would prevent a government shutdown at the end of the week. The measure now heads to the US Senate, where its fate is uncertain. 

The US is facing a budget battle. House Republicans have unveiled a stopgap spending bill that would keep federal agencies funded and avoid a government shutdown. The measure is backed by President Donald Trump, but some key Republicans in the House have refused to back similar measures in the past. US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that Trump has posted pleading for support, but it's uncertain if he will get it. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are heading up Donald Trump's newly created Department of Government Efficiency which plans to take aim at wasteful government spending. On the campaign Elon Musk claimed that he could cut two trillion dollars in government spending. What would those cuts look like and how likely is Elon Musk to succeed?

Budget negotiations in Congress are well underway, as lawmakers try to thread a very narrow needle to reach a spending agreement a week before next week's first deadline to fund the federal government.  What could the federal budget look like for 2024? And can Congress pass a bill this big before the clock runs out? Utah Congressman Blake Moore is playing a big role in these budget talks, and he shares what he thinks will fix the process of funding the government. 

Twice in 2023, the American government faced the prospect of having to shut down because politicians in congress couldn't agree on a budget to fund it. Each time, a shutdown was narrowly averted – by last minute, short-term deals.Now, a third deadline is looming in mid-January. It leaves politicians – with fierce disagreements over what services the government should pay for, and how – little time to reach an agreement.We look at the impact of this uncertainty on businesses, and ask, in an election year, what can be done to bring the chaos to an end?Presented and produced by Rob Young(Image: An employee walks past a sign at the entrance of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History during a 35-day partial government shutdown in Washington, DC, January 28, 2019.

US banks are staring at rising loan losses among clients in the private equity markets. These customers, operating conglomerates and other businesses, are struggling on debt repayments as higher interest rates take a toll, according to DICK BOVE, chief financial strategist at ODEON CAPITAL GROUP, in a new report. “You'd be amazed if you subtracted the net increase in debt from the cash flow statements of [many] American companies, at how many are not generating enough cash,” he says. BOVE is forecasting multiple billions of dollars in bank loan losses in this sector in the coming months. “These losses are going to bankrupt a lot of companies,” he adds. Meanwhile, BOVE says it's premature to suggest the Fed is ready to call it done in its so far successful campaign to tamp down inflation. In good part, that's because of the Fed's tight monetary policy, a policy which has a direct influence on interest rates. Total assets at the Fed have been in steady decline for months. BOVE says the Fed may also raise the Fed Funds rate at least one more time, meaning a hike of 25-basis-points. Higher rates have inflicted financial pain all around, including in debt financing costs of the US government. MAT VAN ALSTYNE, ODEON co-founder and managing partner, says the government has, nonetheless, taken its eye off the financial ball, as political dysfunction rages in Congress.
