The Family First Act seeks to increase tax relief for families. In reality, it would send $32 billion more per year in tax refunds to the 53% of families who would no longer pay federal income tax, including a family of 4 with income as high as $94,000. https://t.co/6E4UflHCu2

When layered on top of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the Family First Act would be costly and expand net income tax refunds to over half of all families, including some families in the top half of the...

If you listen to JD Vance or Kamala Harris, you would think the child tax credit is one of the only benefits provided to families with children. But when you add up earnings, employer provided benefits, and government benefits, the total amount may surprise you.

🚨Check out my new paper with @kevincorinth & @Tqorourke in which we create an individual-level social capital measure for a nationally representative population. (Our state map averaging across individuals is on the upper left. You can see it aligns well w/ state-level measures)

Per the HOUSES Act, the federal government owns 640 million acres of federal land, most of it in the West. @kevincorinth and his coauthor estimate that transferring just 0.1% to states and localities for housing development could create 2.7 million new homes.

The Wyden-Smith bill would increase CTC benefits for families with multiple children. This would incentivize part-time work, but disincentivize full-time work. This figure shows how post-tax, post-transfer income would increase with earnings for a 3-child family, under the bill.
