☆ Federal Debt and the Election

Likewise, the federal government will eventually face consequences for spending more money than it raises in taxes. Already, the costs of high federal debt are evident. About one-seventh of all federal spending this year will cover interest payments on debt the government previously accumulated. (Social Security remains almost twice as expensive as Medicare, the military or debt interest.) Over time, interest payments will account for an even larger share of the federal budget, leaving less money for everything else.

Elon Musk’s mother, Maye Musk, appeared to encourage a form of voter fraud in a post on X. It appeared to echo conspiracy theories about large-scale voter fraud that have been shared by Elon Musk. The code, however, doesn’t appear to forbid Maye Musk’s statements of encouragement, Persily said. Maye Musk’s post was made the day her son spoke at a rally for former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania — where Trump was injured in an assassination attempt in July. Proponents of the laws say they prevent voter fraud, which studies have found to be extremely rare.

☆ Trump and Harris’ proposals would both increase the national debt but Trump’s plan would add $4 trillion more, study finds
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-07 | by ( Tami Luhby | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

Harris’ plan would boost the debt by $3.5 trillion over the next decade, while Trump’s platform would cause it to spike by $7.5 trillion, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget’s report, released Monday. It found that Harris’ measures could have no significant impact on the debt or could increase it by $8.1 trillion. And Trump’s proposals could balloon the debt by between $1.5 trillion and $15.2 trillion. These proposals would cost $2.3 trillion in total. But the committee estimates these tariffs would bring in between $2 trillion and $4.3 trillion over a decade — not enough to cover Trump’s agenda.

☆ A major curveball in retirement preparedness: divorce
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-05 | by ( Allie Kelly | Juliana Kaplan | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +10 min

Monthly Social Security checks aren't enough for most baby boomers to get by, further fueling a retirement crisis. A prenuptial agreement can be helpful, but it typically doesn't protect wealth built after the couple ties the knot, like retirement savings. Men's monthly retirement incomes are nearly $600 more than women's — $2,610 to $2,042 — and they're more likely to have a balance in a retirement account. Overall, divorced women like Clark see lower monthly retirement incomes than their male counterparts — and peers who have remarried. One of Mintzer's greatest divorce regrets is that she didn't safeguard her retirement savings.

Research Affiliates CIO Chris Brightman believes immigration reform is needed to boost the economy. One proposed policy is projected to energize the labor market and liquidate $0.6 trillion in debt. But to one chief investment officer, immigration policy isn't a matter of political debate — it's an economic nonnegotiable. A declining population brings with it a declining labor force.

☆ 40% of Americans plan to retire with $1 million or more—it might not be enough
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-03 | by ( Ryan Ermey | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

A million dollars isn't the symbol of wealth that it used to be, but saving that much for retirement is still rare. In fact, among those currently saving for retirement, 57% say the amount they're hoping to save is less than $1 million. If you withdraw money from your portfolio too fast, you drastically decrease the chances that the money will last for your entire retirement. Divide that figure by 4%, and you'll arrive at the amount you'll need to retire with: $2.5 million. If you plan to retire with $1 million, by the same calculation you can expect to withdraw $40,000 in your first year.

As Donald Trump calls for overhauling the Affordable Care Act with a new health care system, one Republican senator running for an influential leadership position says the party should combine that pursuit with a major tax bill in the new year. “We’ll have an opportunity next year, when it comes time to extend the Trump tax cuts, to adopt new policies that again will make health care more affordable and more personalized,” Cotton said. “Because a lot of health care in this country does go through our tax code. “Because the Democrats have become so obstructionist on President Trump, the opportunity to pass major legislation next year will probably be centered on the extension of the Trump tax cuts from 2017 in addition to other measures,” Cotton said. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., who sits on the Finance Committee that oversees tax and health care policy, said Congress will scrutinize Trump’s litany of expensive proposals in a tax bill.

As year-end approaches, you may be eyeing Roth individual retirement account conversions. The strategy, however, boosts your income, which can have other tax consequences, experts say. Roth conversions shift pretax or nondeductible IRA funds to a Roth IRA, which provides future tax-free growth. Otherwise, you could lose eligibility for certain tax breaks or unexpectedly trigger tax hikes. Here are a couple of other major tax issues to watch, experts say.

Today, on average, Social Security benefits may replace about 40% of a person’s pre-retirement income assuming they start collecting benefits at their full retirement age. To be in those categories your earnings are often at or near the annual maximum income subject to the Social Security payroll tax. If you had to replace $24,000 in Social Security benefits, you might need a $600,000 portfolio. If you have no idea what Social Security benefits are promised to you under current law, get an official estimate based on your average career earnings to date from the Social Security Administration.

Monday night, the National Weather Service posted on X that heavy rain and powerful wind gusts would hit the Southeast later in the week. “It is not common for the National Weather Service to use words like ‘catastrophic’ to describe forecasts,” Buncombe County Manager Avril Pinder said at a news conference Thursday morning.
