Will Mcbride Coming Of Age

[Exequiel Mondragon]

Dr. McBride has more than ten years of experience analyzing a variety of economic and policy issues. Prior to his current role at the Tax Foundation, he served as a manager in the National Economic and Statistics (NES) group at PricewaterhouseCoopers where he worked on numerous projects, including economic impact analyses, industry surveys, U.S. federal and state tax revenue estimates, and general quantitative analyses. He also has experience researching and modeling the economics of taxation and issues related to tax reform at the state, federal, and international levels.

Dr. McBride is no stranger to the Tax Foundation. From 2011 to 2015 he served as chief economist, where he wrote extensively on the economics of taxation, particularly regarding business investment, and guided the development of the Tax Foundation dynamic scoring model.

Dr. McBride holds a PhD in economics from George Mason University, where he specialized in macroeconomics and agent-based modeling. His research has been cited by policymakers, quoted by major media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, and published in scholarly journals, such as the National Tax Journal and Tax Notes.

President Biden is proposing extraordinarily large tax hikes on businesses and the top 1 percent of earners that would put the US in a distinctly uncompetitive international position and threaten the health of the US economy.

Universal savings accounts would boost savings for low-income households, allowing them to better withstand economic shocks, such as pandemics and recessions, and plan for major expenses, such as an expanded family, education, and housing needs.

The CBO projects deficits will be higher than historical levels, largely due to growth in mandatory spending programs While some recent legislation has reduced the deficit, the Inflation Reduction Act is proving to be more expensive than originally promised.

In Congress, both parties have expressed widespread support for improving the treatment of R&D and potentially extending some or all of the major business provisions, while the White House and congressional Democrats have indicated interest in an expanded child tax credit, suggesting potential for a deal.

The uncertain future of American finances in a time of potential economic instability points to the need for tax reforms that encourage individuals to save and build financial security in a relatively simple way, such as through universal savings accounts.

Lawmakers will have to weigh the economic, revenue, and distributional trade-offs of extending or making permanent the various provisions of the TCJA as they decide how to approach the upcoming expirations. A commitment to growth, opportunity, and fiscal responsibility should guide the approach.

The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was the largest corporate tax reform in a generation, lowering the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, temporarily allowing full expensing for short-lived assets (referred to as bonus depreciation), and overhauling the international tax code.

As Congress continues its work on the fiscal year 2024 appropriations process and associated tax provisions, it should consider an often-overlooked tax provision: the limitation on deductions companies take for interest payments.

Now is the time for lawmakers to focus on long-term fiscal sustainability, as further delay will only make an eventual fiscal reckoning that much harder and more painful. Congressional leaders should follow through on convening a fiscal commission to deal with the long-term budgetary challenges facing the country.

A major case pending before the U.S. Supreme Court (Moore v. United States) is calling into question provisions on large portions of the U.S. tax base which could quickly become legally uncertain, putting significant revenue at stake.

One year after its enactment, there are concerns about the Inflation Reduction Acts overall fiscal impact, the additional complexity it introduces to the tax system, and the sustainability of its initiatives.

Dormady announced in January he was transferring, leaving Guarantano and McBride as the only scholarship quarterbacks. Three walk-ons have joined them at spring practice. Keller Chryst, a graduate transfer from Stanford, and incoming freshman JT Shrout will join the ranks this summer.

Pruitt witnessed firsthand the value of a quarterback who doesn't throw interceptions. Last season, when Pruitt was Alabama's defensive coordinator, Crimson Tide quarterbacks threw just three interceptions, the fewest in the nation.

Pass protection was an issue for the Vols in 2017, especially in the second half of the season as injuries mounted on the offensive line. Overall, Tennessee quarterbacks were sacked at a rate of 2.92 times per game.

The Minnesota Vikings lost starting quarterback Kirk Cousins for the season Sunday because of a torn Achilles tendon. This news is devastating for a Vikings team that was already without wide receiver Justin Jefferson as he continues to deal with a hamstring injury.

Cousins entered Sunday in the midst of one of his best seasons as a pro, averaging 291.1 passing yards and 2.25 passing touchdowns per game. He averaged 38.8 pass attempts and had the third-highest passer rating in the league. News of Cousins' injury was surprising, considering his availability has always been an asset. He started 111 games from 2015 to 2021 and was rarely listed on the injury report. Fantasy managers wondering how the Vikings will fill the void at quarterback must understand that it is a complicated situation.

For fantasy managers wondering how the Vikings would fill the void at QB, they got their answer Tuesday afternoon, when the Vikings traded with the Arizona Cardinals for Joshua Dobbs (rostered in 16.8% of ESPN leagues). Dobbs previously started the first eight games for the Cardinals and scored at least 16 fantasy points five times, including three with at least 20. Head coach Kevin O'Connell said the Vikings plan to start fifth-round rookie Jaren Hall (0.0%) against the Falcons on Sunday. I'd be shocked if Dobbs isn't named the starter for Week 10 against the Saints. The dual-threat QB is well-positioned for success, as he'll have the opportunity to throw to Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson and Jefferson, once he returns from injured reserve.

Will Levis, Tennessee Titans (0.9%%): Levis surpassed expectations in Week 8, scoring an impressive 26.6 fantasy points. He displayed outstanding chemistry with DeAndre Hopkins, connecting for three touchdown passes that each traveled 20 or more yards in the air. Levis is an intriguing superflex option for Week 9 and is expected to start Thursday night against the Steelers.

Sam Howell, Washington Commanders (30.3%): Howell burned many fantasy managers with 9.4 fantasy points against the Giants in Week 7. He redeemed himself in Week 8 with 30.9. Howell has scored 15 or more fantasy points in six of eight games this season and while he doesn't have a great matchup in Week 9 against the Patriots, he should still be considered as a high-end QB2 in deep or superflex leagues.

Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (27.9%): Mayfield has been reliable for fantasy managers, considering his two top receivers are Mike Evans and Chris Godwin and the Buccaneers' running game has been atrocious. He has scored 16 or more fantasy points in two consecutive games and faces a Texans defense in Week 9 that has struggled against the pass this season.

Bryce Young, Carolina Panthers (9.9%): Young completed 22 of his 31 pass attempts for 235 yards and a touchdown in Week 8. Young has scored 14 or more fantasy points only in two of his past three games, but his upcoming schedule makes him attractive pickup for managers in need of a quarterback. The Panthers face the Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears defenses over the next two weeks, and both are among the top 10 in passing yards allowed per game.

Chuba Hubbard, Carolina Panthers (42.9%): It was reported earlier in the week that Hubbard would play a larger role against the Texans on Sunday and that's exactly what happened. He played more snaps, ran more routes, and had more touches than Miles Sanders and is worth adding to your fantasy roster.

Emari Demercado, Arizona Cardinals (39.2%): Demercado has scored nine or more fantasy points in three of his past four games and led the Cardinals backfield in snaps, touches and fantasy points against the Ravens. The Cardinals (29.0) rank eighth in rushing attempts per game over the past three games, so consider Demercado as an option in deeper formats while James Conner is still on injured reserve.

Zach Charbonnet, Seattle Seahawks (30.2%): Kenneth Walker III missed practices because of a calf injury earlier in the week, resulting in fewer snaps played than Charbonnet on Sunday against the Browns. Walker managed to accumulate more touches in the game, but now is a perfect time to acquire Charbonnet as the Seahawks enter the second half of the season. It is unlikely he will replace Walker as the starter, but he will play an active role in Seattle's backfield.

Devin Singletary (33%) finds himself in a running back committee that includes Dameon Pierce and Mike Boone. Despite this, Singletary has still surpassed 10 touches in consecutive games, averaging 0.48 fantasy points per touch.

Royce Freeman (17.1%) will still have a role in the Rams backfield over the next two games with Kyren Williams on injured reserve. Darrell Henderson Jr. and Freeman continue to split snaps and touches fairly evenly. The Rams might rely more on the running game in Week 9 as Matthew Stafford deals with a thumb injury. Los Angeles has a favorable matchup against a Packers defense that has given up the fifth-most fantasy points per game to running backs.
