This week at CBPP, we focused primarily on the federal budget, the economy, state budgets and taxes, and income security.
On the federal budget, CBPP President Sharon Parrott offered commentary on how the coming State of the Union address and President’s budget are opportunities to put forward a vision for a stronger, more prosperous nation. Joel Friedman and Richard Kogan stressed how the House Republican pledge to cut appropriated programs to their 2022 level would have severe effects for non-defense programs.
