In Case You Missed It . . .

| By CBPP

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

On state budgets and taxes, Samantha Waxman, along with Carl Davis and Erika Frankel of the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, explained why states should enact and expand mansion taxes to advance fairness. Michael Mazerov noted that states can fight corporate tax avoidance by requiring worldwide combined reporting.
On housing, Mari Castaldi affirmed that taxing high-value home sales is an equitable and effective strategy to raise revenue and fund affordable housing.
On federal tax, Chuck Marr emphasized that record stock buybacks bolster the case for raising the corporate tax rate.
On the federal budget, David Reich described how House bills will tighten the squeeze on non-defense appropriations.
On health, Breanna Sharer highlighted a federal report confirming that the Affordable Care Act dramatically increased health coverage.

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