Tax Breaks in Stimulus Fulfill Lawmakers' Wish Lists

The stimulus bill signed by President Trump was significant not just for its size but also because many lawmakers inserted tax items into the bill they'd been wanting for some time to become law.
On the latest episode of our weekly podcast, Talking Tax, host Amanda Iacone talks with Capitol Hill reporter Kaustuv Basu about what was in this bill and about why it will likely be far from the last financial aid package to come out of Congress. Kaustuv also speaks about the Jan. 6 siege of the Capitol building by pro-Trump rioters and about what it was like as a Capitol Hill reporter to watch this take place.
