BEYOND THE NUMBERS
In Case You Missed It…
This week at CBPP, we focused on the federal budget and taxes, state taxes, food assistance, and the economy.
- On the federal budget, Joel Friedman explained why the House Republican rules package is designed to enable skewed priorities.
- On federal taxes, Chuck Marr described how the House GOP’s first bill is a misleading gambit to protect the interests of wealthy tax cheats.
- On state taxes, Michael Mazerov previewed key findings showing that the migration-related claims of state income tax opponents are grossly exaggerated.
- On food assistance, Joseph Llobrera pointed out how the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program is linked to better health throughout life and lowers health care costs.
- On the economy, we updated our backgrounder tracking the recovery from the pandemic recession.
