Today is June 19, 2024, and here are the top 3 headlines in this week's Weekly Business Briefs. Investors are celebrating the recent inflation data. Imagine the stock market as your favorite online shopping destination. What prices for everything is going crazy high. It makes you hold off on buying things, right. But guess what? Recent data shows inflation might be chilling out for a bit. This is good news for the stock market because the Federal Reserve, kind of like the big boss of the US economy, might maybe lower interest rates. Lower interest rates are basically like sales on stocks making them more attractive to buy. Basically like sales on stocks making them more attractive to buy. Investors are hyped because if the Fed actually cuts rates, the stock market could party even harder. So that's the basic idea. The stock market is happy because inflation seems to be under control, which means the Fed might go easy on interest rates. The lower interest rates could lead to bigger party in the stock market. But remember, this is just one factor that can affect the stock market. There are many other things that can cause the stock prices to go up and down. So it's always important to do your own research before investing any money.
Speaker 1:
Next up, this is an interesting story the IRS is cooking up a plan to close a major tax loophole used by large partnerships. Picture this you and your friends start a business together. Normally, if the business makes money, you and your friends would have to pay taxes on your share of profits, but with a strategy called related party basis shifting, some businesses can move money around in a way that makes it look like they are not making any profits, so they don't have to pay taxes. The government says that this loophole saves wealthy businesses $160 billion per year. That's a lot of money. The problem is that the IRS, which is the government agency that collects taxes, doesn't have enough money to hire enough auditors to catch all of the businesses that are using this loophole. It's kind of like not having enough firefighters to stop all of the fires. Democrats, which is one of the two main political parties in the United States, want to give the IRS more funding so that they can hire more auditors and catch more tax cheats. I don't know if I would call them tax cheats if there is a legal loophole, so I don't know enough to speak intelligently about this particular loophole, but I do want you to consider that this would mean that more businesses would have to pay taxes they owe, and the government would have more money to spend on things like healthcare and education. So, to sum it up, this is an issue about closing the loophole that wealthy businesses use to avoid paying taxes. Democrats want to give the IRS more money so they can catch more people using this loophole, or at least even audit them.
Speaker 1:
In a bold move amid reforming immigration laws, lawmakers are considering a plan that could pave the way for approximately half a million immigrants currently living in the US without legal status to eventually gain legal residency. This proposal seeks to address the plight of individuals who have long resided in the country without authorization. This plan is significant because it offers hope of stability and official recognition to a large number of people who have built lives in the US despite their undocumented status. It marks a shift towards tackling deep-rooted issues in the immigration system that have left many individuals in a state of uncertainty, unable to fully participate in society of uncertainty unable to fully participate in society. Debates surrounding this proposal underscores ongoing discussions in Congress about how to reform immigration laws to balance humanitarian concerns with the need for border security. Advocates argue that establishing a pathway to legal residency could not only benefit affected individuals, but also strengthen local communities and the economy by integrating long-standing residents fully into society. Nevertheless, the proposal faces challenges, including political divisions over immigration policy and concerns about national security. These factors are expected to influence the final shape of any legislation moving forward with negotiations, like in the continuing months ahead.
Speaker 1:
So this is an interesting situation here that now, mr President, joe Biden wants to push this immigration law. I think there needs to be some sort of happy medium. Remember, there is in the range of six to 10 million new immigrants in our country that came in illegally over the last four years, in the past four years with this current administration. So we have a large problem to fix here and it's something that we have to deal with as America, as Americans, and it's something we have to figure, deal with as America, as Americans, and it's something we have to figure out. Don't know if this is the answer and I don't know if this will fix the issue, but it is a proposed solution. At least it's something that's being proposed, and this has been your weekly business brief. I'll see you guys next week, peace.
