1/2 Renewed efforts to remove Fed Gov. Lisa Cook are another attempt by the Trump administration to undermine the Federal Reserve’s independence and inject politics into economic decision-making. wsj.com/economy/central-bank…
2/2 At a time when many Americans are struggling with rising prices and economic uncertainty, policymakers should be focused on advancing shared prosperity and growth, not weakening confidence in the institutions that support a stable economy. equitablegrowth.org/the-fede…

Check out our first post from Senior Policy Fellow @michaelslinden on the federal deficit debate. 📈
The question is not really “Do we have a spending problem or a revenue problem.” The real question lurking underneath the deficit debate is much more consequential: “How do we judge whether the federal budget is aimed at the right things?”

Does the labor market really drive income inequality over the lifecycle? New evidence suggests the answer may be more complicated than we thought.
Join @equitablegrowth on Oct. 20 for a conversation on inequality, human capital and AI's impact on work. 🔗web.cvent.com/event/18cfe097…
This week’s #WednesdayDataDrop highlights how tariff exposure varies sharply by state.
Midwest and Southern states have higher employment exposure scores, meaning a larger share of workers are in industries affected by recent tariff policies.

The federal deficit debate often boils down to spending vs. revenue. But what if that's the wrong question?
In a new report, @michaelslinden argues today's spending trajectory was largely anticipated decades ago, while repeated tax cuts reduced revenues and widened the budget gap.

In this week's #GrowthMondays, former Labor Secretary Marty Walsh reflects on how worker power and middle‑class stability support economic growth.

As of October 1st, states must pay 75% of SNAP’s administrative costs vs 50% when the law was first enacted a year ago.
We asked several scholars who study the SNAP program closely to shed light on the implications these cuts will have on workers, families, and economic growth.

This #WednesdayDataDrop 📊shows that workers without a college degree are concentrated in the industries most exposed to tariffs.
Analysis from @cbdecon found that tariff burdens fell heaviest in sectors where less‑educated workers are overrepresented.

1/ Yesterday, the Treasury Dept. announced that 60 million additional children will be automatically enrolled in Trump Accounts.
This change signifies a reversal from an earlier opt-in-only policy after input from researchers and advocates.

-A 🧵-
5/ Donors can give single-company stock, locked for 5 years, potentially leaving kids’ accounts undiversified and unable to sell. Treasury admits the risk, but says donors want kids to "feel they have a stake" in the company.
6/ Auto-enrollment is real progress built on real evidence. But more work is needed to ensure Trump Accounts benefit all children, starting with giving every eligible child the pilot $ 1,000, making targeting transparent, and ending single-stock risk.
