Ever wonder where bad financial policy originates? Some of it comes from financial myths surrounding junk fees, the Durbin Amendment, and the Federal Home Loan Bank. Check out my latest report on the topic below!👇🏻 @consumerpal

I have never once in my life encountered someone expressing this sentiment. Either I live in quite a bubble, or Ezra Klein does.

My op-ed on the California wealth tax in the Orange County Register:

[Tax Foundation @TaxFoundation]

Did you know? Most states place limits on property tax increases to help keep taxes from rising too rapidly. But assessment and levy limits are not the same. 🏡

The US national debt is on an unprecedented and unsustainable trajectory that will require ever-greater borrowing and larger interest payments on what is borrowed. These interest payments will, in turn, consume a larger part of the budget, and all Americans will pay the price.

For that reason, it’s worth examining not only what the national debt is, but also why higher interest payments matter.

Happy 4th! Did you know The American Revolution was a tax revolt—just not over the burden of taxes, but rather the power to tax?

Great discussion this afternoon on the Hill about the need to pause emerging state AI regulatory regimes.

A special thank you to Congressman @JayObernolte for joining ACI and @aftfuture to debunk some of the most common myths and explain why action is needed now.

Happy Tax Day! Don't forget today is the tax filing deadline.

.@Consumerpal’s Nate Karren discusses America’s current spectrum crisis and the urgent need to reauthorize spectrum auction authority: “American consumers need more spectrum, and they need it fast.” More: https://t.co/36qSG4VF9d

Trump’s tariffs amount to an average tax increase of more than $2,100 per US household in 2025.

Americans owe $1.21T in credit card debt—but a 10% rate cap won’t help. It’ll hurt.

Artificial price controls like the Sanders-Hawley plan reduce credit access, raise fees, and punish low-income borrowers.

AI drives innovation, boosts small businesses, and keeps Texas at the forefront of the tech revolution. But burdensome regulations threaten progress with costly red tape.
@Logan_Kolas and @VanceGinn
argue that Texas should embrace AI’s potential—not regulate it away. https://t.co/tW4dDIvTEn

Come join our team! @Logan_Kolas is great, and I’m pretty okay as well.

Corporate Taxes = Higher Prices for YOU!

Research debunks the myth that corporate taxes only hurt shareholders. In reality, consumers bear up to HALF the burden through higher prices on everyday goods.

corporate taxes = rising costs for essentials like groceries & gas.

Interest rate caps are just price controls by another name—and they always hurt consumers! Whether it’s AOC, Trump, or VA lawmakers pushing them, @GovernorVA should think twice before limiting interest to 12%.

I'm a firm believer that good policy is good policy no matter the political momentum at the moment. With that in mind and to follow-up to last night's speech, here are some of the @consumerpal's positions on key themes and topics.

Main point: consumers benefit from markets.

[Tax Foundation @TaxFoundation]

President Trump's rationale for imposing tariffs?

Without these changes, the NAIC risks operating as a shadow regulator—exerting enormous influence over the insurance industry with minimal public oversight. ACI’s recommendations will ensure the NAIC operates within its intended role and maintains proper accountability

[Nate Scherer @RealSchererLuck]

ACI’s new report raises serious concerns about the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC)—a powerful regulatory body with little transparency. @consumerpal

Is the NAIC operating beyond its intended role? Here’s what you need to know. 🧵👇
https://t.co/fe676et3sR

[Nate Scherer @RealSchererLuck]

ACI’s report calls for major reforms to improve accountability:
✅Require the NAIC to file a Form 990 like other nonprofits
✅ Apply transparency laws (FOIA, Administrative Procedure Act) if it claims quasi-governmental status
✅Conduct an independent third-party audit
