International tax policies in the big bill cost more than $130 bn but will (at best) do nothing to spur US investment.
GILTI won't affect domestic investment (deals with foreign profits); FDII, meant to encourage domestic intangibles, can discourage domestic tangible investment.

Today, FACT signed on to a letter opposing the nomination of Billy Long for IRS commissioner. Mr. Long's lack of experience and history of favoring the dismantlement of the IRS are enough to disqualify him from this role. We call on the Senate to reject Mr. Long's confirmation.

@repbeatty.bsky.social is right on the money here: "Gutting the CTA eliminates a critical tool for law enforcement to detect and deter fraud cases that involve anonymous shell companies, effectively making the US a haven for money launderers, traffickers and fraundsters."

Glad to see bipartisan pushback to Treasury's gutting of the landmark Corporate Transparency Act from Sen. @whitehouse.senate.gov + Sen. Grassley
This move has no basis in the statute of the CTA, which clearly requires Treasury to cover domestic entities.

Happening Now: DOJ files for a stay in Smith v. Treasury, the last remaining case keeping Treasury from enforcing the landmark #CorporateTransparencyAct.
Last month, the Supreme Court threw out a nationwide injunction in another CTA case.
Per DOJ: "The same result is warranted here."

FACT's @ianpgary.bsky.social will be speaking today at NYSBA's annual meeting on how dirty money corrupts markets and undermines the rule of law.
The #CorporateTransparencyAct and recent #AML reforms for real estate markets are vital tools to fighting back against illicit finance in the U.S.

A harmful House rider would deny funding to FASB
