The Daily Money: Will Trump tax bill help or hurt you?

Good morning! It's Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money. President Donald Trump's tax bill could make future generations "worse off," no matter their income, according to a new report from the Penn Wharton Budget Model. Like prior analyses, these findings suggest most Americans would see tax cuts in the short run, just as Trump and fellow Republicans have advertised. Long-term, though, most people end up in the red. Here's the math. Should church group return Target donation? Target has donated $300,000 to the National Baptist Convention. Now, some critics are calling on the church organization to return the gift. The calls come from activists who launched a boycott against Target over its rollback of DEI efforts. Will the donation be returned? Trump attacks Fed chair again on interest rates In his stinging monthslong campaign to badger Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell into lowering interest rates, President Trump has relied on a variety of arguments. Most recently, he has cited a claim that the Fed's refusal to slash rates is costing the federal government hundreds of billions of dollars a year in interest payments on its debt.
