The bill that just passed the House costs $5 trillion, more than $4 trillion of which are tax cuts.
It’s paid for with $1.7 trillion of cuts to healthcare, education, and social welfare, plus $3.3 trillion of borrowing.
Budgets are expressions of values.

Almost all IDEAS pages now have a Bluesky symbol in the social media ribbon. Clicking on it creates a post including the page URL and, in the case of abstract pages, an image with title, author and abstract. Use this when mentioning an economics paper!
