On this episode of Main Street Matters, Elaine Parker sits down with Daniel Kowalski, Director of the Herman Center for the Federal Budget at The Heritage Foundation, to break down the high-stakes budget reconciliation fight unfolding in Washington.

They explain how Republicans are using reconciliation to advance homeland security funding, spending reforms, tax relief, and efforts to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in programs like Medicaid and SNAP. Daniel also outlines what a potential “Reconciliation 3.0” could mean for small businesses—from healthcare price transparency and capital gains indexing to reducing federal deficits and easing borrowing costs.

What’s next for Congress? Can Republicans deliver another major legislative win before the midterms? And how could these reforms impact Main Street businesses across America?
