California’s leaders pleaded with Congress to carry on the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act’s tax breaks and tax-deferred Opportunity Zones, citing the success of the program in transforming the town of Stockton and noting the significant tax benefits that the common Californian had benefited from.
Americans do experience significant tax rises and the loss of Opportunity Zones, governor-nominated financially distressed Census sections where buyers can defer or reduce federal taxes on capital gains, because the TCJA is set to expire by the end of 2025.

On the importance of maintaining the TJCA, and potential negative consequences for Californians if Congress fails to maintain the breaks by the end of the year, American for Prosperity, a liberal advocacy group, and The LIBRE Initiative, the country’s largest center-right Latino party, held an occasion Thursday night in Stockton with the state’s previous president, Kevin Lincoln.
Almost 90,000 people live in the 19 Option Zones in Stockton, or 28 % of our city, Lincoln told The Center Square. We witnessed these areas bolster fresh city investments, employment opportunities, and community-driven initiatives in South Stockton during my time as mayor.
Between 2019 and 2022, OZ purchases totaled$ 82 billion, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research.
California’s people may notice their federal tax bills increase by more than$ 3, 000, and the position may drop more than 100 000 jobs, according to AFP Western Region Director Heather Andrews to The Center Square. ” AFP-California is amplifying the voices of Californians, urging Congress to make these tax cuts continuous, especially with Rep. Josh Harder.”
If the TCJA expires, according to a previous study from the National Taxpayers Union Foundation, the average California tax filer’s income will increase by$ 3,769.
A bill to extend the TCJA was introduced in Congress at the beginning of the year, but it stalled earlier on Friday as a result of Republicans ‘ opposition to it. The bill would add between$ 3.3 trillion and$ 4.1 trillion to the country’s$ 3.7 trillion national debt over the course of the next ten years.
Moody’s Ratings, an international credit rating agency, downgraded the US’ loan on Friday from its AAA rating, the highest level, to Aa1, citing the rising federal debt load and persistent imbalances.

This one-notch downgrade on our 21-notch rating scale is in line with the increase in government debt and interest payments over the past decade to levels that are significantly higher than those of similarly rated sovereigns, according to Moody’s. We anticipate higher deficits as entitlement spending increases while government spending is largely unchanged over the next ten years. The government’s debt and interest burden will increase as a result of persistent, significant fiscal deficits.
Moody’s did downgrade the country’s federal debt, but it also raised the country’s credit outlook from a negative to a stable rating, which suggests further downgrades are not yet in the works. Additionally, Moorey noted that the national debt rating cap is still AAA, which indicates that sufficient action could lead to a rating improvement in the near future.
