BEYOND THE NUMBERS
In Case You Missed It…
Recently at CBPP, we focused on federal taxes, the federal budget, housing, and the economy.
- On federal taxes, Chuck Marr, Samantha Jacoby, and Jabari Cook highlighted how the success of the IRS rebuilding and tax gap reduction effort depends on allocating sufficient funding through annual appropriations. Sarah Calame pointed out that the Child Tax Credit expansion is especially important for the 3 million lowest-income children in rural areas.
- On the federal budget, David Reich described the importance of completing 2023 appropriations rather than enacting a full-year continuing resolution. We also translated our backgrounder on Deficits, Debt, and Interest into Spanish.
- On housing, Sonya Acosta explained why the 2023 appropriations bills should support and expand housing vouchers.
- On the economy, we updated our backgrounder tracking the recovery from the pandemic recession.
