POLICY INSIGHT
BEYOND THE NUMBERS

In Case You Missed It . . .

| By CBPP

This week at CBPP, we focused on federal tax and income security.

  • On federal tax, guest author Kimberly A. Clausing argued the case for a higher corporate tax rate and international tax reform to raise more revenue, encourage competition, and reduce market inequalities in 2025.
  • On income security, we posted a policy brief on Vicki Turetsky and Diana Azevedo-McCaffrey's report from last week on the need for child support payments to go directly to families rather than to state and federal governments.
