I don’t believe in all of this talk about “ASI” in 2027. I only recognize one ASI, and that’s @ASI, ideally the @s8mb era thereof.

Tax policy following the midterms is probably more about 2029 than 2027 @andrew_lautz from @TaxFoundation tells me in the latest episode of The Albatross podcast.

We talk about...
• step-up in basis
• equalizing income and capital gains tax
• wealth taxes

He's keeping an eye on committee hearings over the next two years for hints about policy that could be coming if either party achieves a trifecta.

There’s a tragic element to stories like this. This woman sincerely believes that a datacenter would pollute the air and water of her community. And those sincere beliefs resulted in blocking a $50m/year source of tax revenue in a community facing major economic and budgetary problems. Tragic.

[Stan Veuger @stanveuger]

Broadening our sales tax should be central to any revenue raising efforts

Much to my chagrin, not everything is a tax story. But I do think we can learn some tax lessons from the election.
The targeted tax policies pushed by Trump were not an effective electoral strategy, and voters still don't want new or higher taxes.

One thing neither side seems focused on is the deficit. Dems day 1 agenda adds roughly $5 trillion to the deficit over the coming decade.

This is exactly why, even though they score big political points, we need to be cautious cutting property taxes, unless they’re part of a bigger plan to cut spending

Chances are, these holes is just going to be filled by another tax on Floridians, not legitimate tax relief

@cojobrien Yeah, but it was truly a validation that expensing is good and tariffs are bad. I predict the next election in two years will affirm the same.

[Jordan Weissmann @JHWeissmann]

This is, to a tee, the same logic that brought us Trump's tariffs

How the Trump tariffs undermined the Trump tax cuts.

[Ricco @riccoja]

@kingofthecoastt yes, I feel like I’m going crazy when people talk about this. In my mental model of the economy, the trend break in nominal spending is not just “evidence” for the demand-side explanation but definitionally settles it
