One of the bills, in the Senate, is a Democratic initiative and enjoys broad bipartisan support. It is the End Prescription Drug Ads Now Act, which would prohibit direct-to-consumer advertising and promotion of prescription drugs and biologics.
The other is a Republican initiative in Congress. It is the No Tax on Home Sales Act—H.R. 4327, according to which any profit from a home sale, no matter how large, would be tax-free if the home was a primary residence.
The Senate bill would only prohibit direct-to-consumer advertising of approved prescription pharmaceuticals and biologics, sparing medical devices, dietary supplements, cosmetics, over-the-counter drugs, compounded drugs, and other marketed but unapproved drugs.
Direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising refers to the marketing and advertising of pharmaceutical products directly to consumers as patients, as opposed to targeting health professionals specifically. The term is primarily synonymous with the advertising of prescription medicines via mass media platforms—most commonly on television and in magazines, but also on online platforms. The bill defines DTC advertising as “any promotional communication targeting consumers, including through television, radio, print media, digital platforms, and social media, for purposes of marketing such a drug."
Separately, several Republican members of Congress, including Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), introduced the No Handouts for Drug Advertisements Act, which would amend the Internal Revenue Code to prevent companies from deducting expenses relating to DTC advertising of prescription-only drugs in tax filings.

Para la inmensa mayoría de los habitantes de cualquier país, la más importante de sus preocupaciones económicas es cómo sufragar el presupuesto familiar. Este es un problema que muchos experimentan en Estados Unidos. Un caso ilustrativo es cómo, no solo la magnitud del cheque semanal promedio, sino lo que ese cheque realmente puede adquirir, disminuyó cerca del 4% desde que el Presidente Biden tomó el mando hasta que abandonó el puesto. En resumen, el empleado, obrero o trabajador perdió en promedio el 4% de su poder adquisitivo durante esos cuatro años. Pese a que la inflación fue significativamente superior, quedó parcialmente compensada, aunque no totalmente, por los aumentos en los sueldos que, en consecuencia, resultaron ser insuficientes en un 4% en relación con la inflación.
President Trump has dragged his administration into an economic Cold War by imposing high tariffs and sanctions on most countries and blocs of countries that trade with the United States. He announced that all of them had been pursuing trade policies significantly detrimental to the United States' interests for many decades. In particular, exchanging goods and services with China resulted in a growing trade deficit amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars. To a lesser extent, this disparity was also notable in trade with the European Union, India, and many other countries. Therefore, President Trump took the plunge with a sudden and radical policy of achieving parity, which provoked a loud and belligerent reaction among those affected and an avalanche of criticism in the American media and political circles, which predicted an economic collapse caused by overwhelming initial inflation and the subsequent descent into a deep depression.
argumentos son contradictorios, porque unos alertan sobre una abrumadora inflación que será causada por los costos arancelarios, mientras que otros predicen una desastrosa recesión provocada por el aparente derrumbe de la bolsa de valores.
