Salus populi suprema lex esto
The Welfare of the People is the Highest Law
AGOA Extension Act
The bill extends duty‑free treatment for eligible African apparel and preserves customs fee authority to maintain trade continuity and CBP funding, at the cost of reduced tariff revenue, continued fees for importers/consumers, administrative burdens, and limits on some future beneficiary eligibility.
Pandemic Unemployment Fraud Enforcement Act
The bill strengthens the government's ability to detect, investigate, and recover CARES Act unemployment fraud by extending enforcement windows (benefiting taxpayers and recovery efforts) at the cost of greater legal exposure, potential unfairness and litigation burdens for individuals and businesses, plus a small, immediate $5M rescission that reduces funding available to affected programs.
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide special rules for the taxation of certain residents of Taiwan with income from sources within the United States.
The bill would lower withholding and create a negotiated, transparent framework to reduce double taxation and increase clarity for some U.S.–Taiwan cross-border activity, but it risks reduced federal revenue and raises compliance, enforcement, and transition burdens for taxpayers, financial institutions, and businesses.
Leasing and Infrastructure Act of 2025
The bill aims to speed and standardize VA leasing for major medical facilities—potentially improving veterans' access and transparency—while shifting funding and operational risks to leasing structures that could raise long-term costs and administrative burdens for taxpayers and the VA.
Defending American Jobs and Investment Act
The bill gives U.S. taxpayers and businesses a clearer, staged tool to counter perceived foreign discriminatory taxes, but it risks higher tax costs, diplomatic/treaty friction and retaliation, and tighter procurement constraints that could raise costs and delay projects.
Returning Senate Joint Resolution 3 to the Senate.
Providing amounts for the expenses of the Committee on Ways and Means in the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress.
The resolution preserves committee funding and introduces clearer spending caps and tighter payment controls to improve oversight and predictability, but it does so using taxpayer funds while concentrating budget control and creating risks of mid‑year shortfalls, slower payments, and reduced flexibility.
