más allá de los números

This week at CBPP, we focused on income security, food assistance, health, the economy, state budgets and taxes, and the federal budget.

On income security, Gina Azito Thompson pointed out the importance of celebrating Black History Month by making policy changes that help Black women thrive.
On food assistance, Dottie Rosenbaum set the record straight about SNAP spending and the upcoming farm bill.
On health, Farah Erzouki explained why states should use federal matching funds to ensure adequate staffing during “unwinding” of Medicaid continuous coverage.
On the economy, Chad Stone warned that an overly aggressive monetary policy from the Federal Reserve could trigger a recession. We updated our backgrounder tracking the recovery from the pandemic recession.
On state budgets and taxes, explained how removing professional barriers for people who are immigrants can help states and families prosper.
