Import Inflation
Column Published in syndication July 29, 2026Despite what you may have heard, tariffs are taxes on imported goods which the domestic importer usually pays at the border or point of entry. It's no surprise that some of this additional cost is then passed to consumers (a percentage that typically increases over time). When most people think about this process, it is in relation to finished goods. However, tariffs also affect imported inputs used by US manufacturers, reducing their competitiveness and further raising costs.

Housing Hope
Column Published in syndication July 22, 2026In a rare bipartisan effort, both the US House and Senate recently passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, the most significant federal housing law in decades. The goal of the legislation is to make housing more affordable, primarily by encouraging expansion in supply. It's a basic economic principle that when demand is higher than supply, there will be upward pressure on prices. Across the nation, the shortage of housing is estimated to be 5.5 million units, with particularly acute issues in some locations (including many parts of Texas).
