Today, Brian dives into the passage of the “Big Beautiful Bill”—a $4.5 trillion piece of legislation that’s sparking debate across party lines. While the headlines tout tax cuts and local wins (yes, even Idaho got a little pork), Brian takes a closer look at what this bill really means for taxpayers, investors, and the long-term debt picture.

He breaks down permanent tax changes that may benefit small business owners, retirees on Social Security, and working families—but he also challenges listeners to ask: at what cost? From inflation’s sneaky role in boosting tax receipts to how our complicated tax code rewards those with the right advisors, this episode blends financial insight with political reality.

Plus, Brian gets real about why tax avoidance (not evasion!) is your legal right—and why many households could save thousands with smarter planning. And yes, we touch on third parties, healthcare costs, and why a Krispy Kreme job may pay more than you'd think.
