This week on Off the Charts, we focused on health reform, the federal budget and taxes, state budgets and taxes, and jobs.
This week, Chad Stone released a statement on February’s jobs report. We released state-by-state fact sheets on higher education funding. We updated our papers on state Medicaid expansion waivers, low-income programs not driving the nation's long-term fiscal problems, already-low program spending outside Social Security and Medicare projected to fall further, and the far-reaching benefits of the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit. We also updated our backgrounder on unemployment insurance.
CBPP’s Chart of the Week – From Michael Mitchell’s blog post on higher education funding:

Note: North Dakota and Alaska are excluded from the fact sheets because they increased per-student higher ed funding between 2008 and 2014.
A variety of news outlets featured CBPP’s work and experts recently. Here are some highlights:
