Budget Talk Intensifies in DC, Texas, and Across States | This Week's Economy Ep. 107

Unfortunately, last week, a Texas-sized budget with California-style spending passed the Texas House with 26 members (19 Republicans and 7 Democrats) voting against it. It will soon go to a conference committee. Instead of lowering the tax burden on hardworking Texans, the bill focuses on progressively expanding government. Texans deserve better!Meanwhile, Americans are feeling the effects of poor economic policies across the nation, which will only worsen if the administration continues pushing tariffs and ignoring better solutions. Trade agreements, tax cuts, and spending restraint offer a more effective path forward, and time is of the essence as March’s jobs report clearly shows we are edging towards stagflation.Dive into these issues and more on this week’s episode of This Week’s Economy.
