Episode 302: The Power of Permanence

June 2, 2026·11 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, gave a memorable speech at the Reagan Foundation Economic Forum last week.  In it, he reiterated the completely true economic principle of permanence – that when policies are properly codified they assure economic actors of the rules of the road, enabling more confident decision-making when it comes to hiring, production, consumption, and investment.     In today’s Capital Record, David flushes out this concept more, acknowledges where the permanence of OBBBA has been a benefit, and asks a rather obvious question about another tax policy that remains, well, not permanent.
