BEYOND THE NUMBERS
In Case You Missed It . . .
This week at CBPP, we focused on federal taxes and the economy.
- On federal taxes, Stephanie Hingtgen explained that the House-passed bipartisan tax bill’s Child Tax Credit expansion would especially help children living in rural areas. Chuck Marr noted that high-income people who received large net tax cuts in 2017 don’t need a new state and local tax cut.
- On the economy, we updated our backgrounder on how many weeks of unemployment compensation are available per state.
