Tax Policy & Economic Growth - The new tax policy allows companies to immediately write off 100% of the cost of new equipment in the year of purchase, instead of depreciating it over several years [1][3][4][5] - This 100% expensing is considered a significant pro-growth component of the tax bill, incentivizing equipment purchases, boosting manufacturing, and creating jobs [4][5][11][13] - Senator Langford argues that full expensing is beneficial to the economy and businesses, especially small businesses and manufacturers, by improving their cash flow and reducing the need to borrow money for taxes [3][4][7] Deficit & Budgetary Impact - The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) scores the 100% expensing as a deficit increase due to its 10-year window scoring method, which doesn't account for depreciation beyond that period [6] - However, in real terms, the policy doesn't necessarily affect the actual deficit, as the depreciation would occur regardless, either in a single year or spread out over multiple years [9] - Other tax cuts, such as those on tips and overtime, are not considered as progrowth as the full expensing policy, although they provide tax relief to specific groups [10][11][12]

And Ryan, I was struck. Goldman just tweaked their forecast for uh you know, their Fed forecast for for rate cuts. Now they think we could get one in September because the inflation numbers on from tariff have been less uh dramatic than they expected.So all of a sudden, you throw in there the possibility of a near-term rate cut.
