POLICY INSIGHT
BEYOND THE NUMBERS

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

On state budgets and taxes, Whitney Tucker described how House Republicans’ debt-ceiling-and-cuts bill would cost states and local communities up to $1.3 trillion. Michael Mazerov highlighted legislation in Minnesota that marks a major step forward in preventing multinational corporations from shifting profits abroad.
On the federal budget, Nick Gwyn outlined how the unemployment insurance bill the House passed this week would be more likely to hurt than help anti-fraud efforts. We also updated our roundup of analyses on House Republicans’ harmful debt-ceiling-and-cuts bill.
On income security, Aditi Shrivastava and Urvi Patel explained how provisions on the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program in the House Republicans’ debt-ceiling-and-cuts bill could increase families’ risk of involvement in the child welfare system.
On health, we updated our resource tracking states’ unwinding from Medicaid continuous coverage.

A variety of news outlets recently featured CBPP’s work and experts. Here are some of the highlights:
