• ⚠️ Concerns were raised about extended IRS audit powers for the ERC, potentially causing chaos in business valuations.

The Reigns Act and Regulatory Reform

• 🚀 Introduced by Rep. Cammack, the Reigns Act is described as the largest regulatory reform effort in American history, aiming to save $2-4 trillion annually.
• 🏛️ This legislation reasserts Congress's authority, preventing executive branch overreach in the federal rulemaking process.
• 💰 The act is expected to put approximately $3,100 back into people's pockets within the first year through reduced regulatory burdens.
• ✅ The White House, including President Trump, is reportedly on board with the Reigns Act, viewing deregulation as crucial for business growth.

Fiscal Responsibility and Debt Concerns
