This weekend in the US is #LaborDay. Beside marking the end of summer what does the holiday really mean? My article explains everything you want to know. theconversation.com/have-we-…

#Trump promised no more taxes on #tips and put it in his "Big Beautiful Tax Bill." My newest article shows why the legislation is not as amazing for tipped workers as was promised. theconversation.com/for-trum…

For Trump’s ‘no taxes on tips,’ the devil is in the details

Tipped workers are more likely to see modest gains than a tax-free windfall.

Is there any #Economic good news? Yes. My interview about lower #oil prices is here thenationaldesk.com/news/ame…

Lower gas, oil prices 'a good news story for America' amid inflation, tariff uncertainty

Oil and gas prices have fallen and could fall more, which might help offset potential inflation impacts for Americans amid an uncertain situation with tariffs.

Is there any good #economic news? Yes! Crude #oil prices are plunging. Crude oil has fallen roughly 25% since #Trump took office. Given the typical US family spends about $3,000 on gasoline yearly, that means an extra $750 in the average family's pocketbook!

#Trump suggests giving 20% of #DOGE savings back to tax payers. I don't think this is a great economic policy. I explain more in my interview on Boston's @wbz cbsnews.com/boston/news/doge…

The president said he might send payments using money saved by DOGE but an economist said the plan is not likely to work.
