137. This Week's Economy Ep 10 | Is U.S. in Recession? Will TX Pass Largest Spending Increase in HISTORY?

New podcast episode recapping this week's economic events to help you prosper!

Hello Friends,

Thank you for reading the Let People Prosper newsletter, which today includes the 10th episode of "This Week's Economy,” where I briefly share insights every Friday on key economic and policy news across the country.

Today, I cover:

1) National: What's the latest on the debt ceiling deal, why I believe that the U.S. is in a recession based on the latest GDP report, and how inflation continues to indicate more aggressive monetary tightening by the Fed;

2) State-Level Jobs: I break down the latest state-level jobs report and share reasons for optimism and more with a focus on Texas and Louisiana.

3) Texas: What's going on with the current Texas legislative session, and why the proposed budget increase would be the largest spending increase in TX history while not passing the largest property tax relief in history. Plus, massive increases in corporate welfare, and large increases in social safety net spending, which would result in a disaster for Texans and the Texas economy.
