BEYOND THE NUMBERS
In Case You Missed It . . .
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.
