BEYOND THE NUMBERS
In Case You Missed It . . .
This week at CBPP, we focused on federal taxes, state budgets and taxes, health, and the economy.
- On federal taxes, Chuck Marr, Kris Cox, and Sarah Calame emphasized that any year-end tax legislation should expand the Child Tax Credit to cut child poverty. Also, Marr and Samantha Jacoby urged policymakers to focus on the true cost of an item on the corporate lobby’s tax break wish list.
- On state budgets and taxes, Don Griswold explained how Pennsylvania can show it’s serious about ending corporate tax avoidance by eliminating domestic profit-shifting.
- On health, we updated our resource tracking states’ unwinding from Medicaid continuous coverage.
- On the economy, we updated our chart book on the recovery from the pandemic recession.
