This week at CBPP, we focused on poverty and inequality, state budgets and taxes, the federal budget, and the economy.

On poverty and inequality, CBPP President Sharon Parrott testified before the House Select Committee on Economic Disparity and Fairness in Growth on the progress the nation has made against poverty, but noted policy advances are needed to reduce still-high hardship.
On state budgets and taxes, Cortney Sanders and Samantha Wing explained how Hawai’i is leading the way for girls’ youth justice.
On the federal budget, we updated our backgrounders on deficits, debt, and interest and on where our federal tax dollars go.
On the economy, we updated our chart book tracking the recovery from the pandemic recession.

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