With the deadline swiftly approaching—can U.S. Congress pass its 2024 spending bills before the August recess?

Congress is racing to pass its 2024 spending bills before the August recess, aiming to avoid a government shutdown and to position itself strongly for the fall’s budget negotiations.

Key among these is the Financial Services bill, which proposes significant cuts to the IRS and FTC budgets.

This effort comes amidst heightened concerns about inflation and economic policy.

Brandon Arnold, the Executive Vice President at The National Taxpayers Union (NTU) joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.

Former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden sparred over critical issues during their much-anticipated presidential debate, but did little to garner new eyes.

The first debate of 2024 covered topics ranging from the economy to the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, both candidates aimed to sway undecided voters ahead of Election Day later this years.

Former President Donald Trump, known for his aggressive rhetoric, doubled down on his administration’s economic achievements while criticising President Joe Biden’s record on trade and foreign policy.

Biden, on the other hand, focused on healthcare reform and accused Trump of mishandling the pandemic, and an economic downturn under his watch. #featured #trending
