Virtue, Liberty and Independence
Survivor Justice Tax Prevention Act
The bill increases survivors' net recoveries and access to tax-free damages by creating a presumption and outreach, while creating modest federal revenue loss and raising risks of privacy harms and potential misuse of the presumption.
Social Security Child Protection Act of 2025
The bill makes it easier to protect young children from identity theft by authorizing replacement SSNs, parental attestations, and SSA recordkeeping, but it brings procedural hurdles and costs and does not entirely eliminate residual identity-theft risk.
Claiming Age Clarity Act
The bill standardizes and clarifies benefit-age terminology to improve understanding and accessibility for beneficiaries and advocates, at the cost of modest SSA implementation expenses and some short-term confusion during the transition.
Fiscal Sponsorship Transparency Act of 2026
Medicare Payment Integrity Enhancement Act of 2026
The bill strengthens Medicare program integrity by funding and incentivizing prepayment reviews to reduce improper payments, but does so at the cost of increased administrative burden and payment delays for providers and potential access or fairness and trust‑fund impacts for beneficiaries and taxpayers.
Accountable Produce is Medicine Act of 2026
The bill expands and tests nutrition-focused services that could improve health and reduce spending for beneficiaries and the health system, but it risks uneven access, added costs and administrative burden, and depends heavily on future CMS rulemaking and payment decisions.
Protecting American Streaming and Innovation Act
The bill gives U.S. digital exporters stronger, more transparent tools to challenge and remedy discriminatory foreign streaming rules, but raises the risk of costly trade escalation, higher prices for consumers and businesses, and additional administrative burdens.
Stop Unemployment Fraud Act
The bill tightens verification, data-sharing, and federal oversight to cut improper unemployment payments and fund program modernization, but it increases documentation, reporting, cost, and privacy burdens that risk delaying or denying benefits for vulnerable claimants and shifting costs onto states and taxpayers.
Debt-to-GDP Transparency and Stabilization Act
The bill improves fiscal transparency and gives policymakers standardized metrics for long-term budgeting, at the cost of added administrative burden and potential political pressure that could push for near-term spending cuts or tax increases.
Main Street Tax Certainty Act
The bill permanently extends a valuable tax break for pass-through business owners—reducing their taxes and clearing up future uncertainty—while increasing long‑term federal revenue costs and maintaining a tax preference that may be seen as unfair to wage earners.
