Sometimes I feel like focusing on policies that only affect growth rates by a few tenths of a percentage point feels small. But then I remind myself that the difference between the United States and Argentina over the last 120 years was 0.5 percentage point.
Last week @ppi hosted a bipartisan congressional trip to Brussels & Poland on support for Ukraine. Among dozens of high-level meetings, the most profound visit was to @FundacjaPCPM's Ukrainian refugree school. A touching stop that hopefully helped change some hearts and minds.

In a new blog, @Laura_k_Duffy argues that @POTUS cannot sustainably finance his agenda while maintaining his $400K tax pledge. “Biden should consider a broader set of tax reforms that would allow him to cement a more durable progressive legacy.” Read on: progressivepolicy.org/blogs/bidens-b…

Me at dinner with the gf tonight: "Well are you risk-averse with respect to world states or the difference you personally make? If it's the former, we can use a risk-weighted utility model, if the latter, we can use a difference-making risk-weighted expected utility model"
New paper from me @TaxFoundation: the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act increased investment and the IRA and CHIPS didn't. (Okay, it's more complicated than that. Read on.) taxfoundation.org/research/all/f…

That’s too bad. I found Sinema to be very likeable. And if there’s one type of politician I think we need more of it’s the socially progressive but business-friendly Democrat. But as the Dem base moves further left economically, people like us are less and less welcome.

TIL that US school lunch programs have to meet an incredibly complex set of Buy American requirements Even though there’s a lot of exceptions in practice, there’s a lot of paperwork involved—not to mention it’s insane schools can’t fully take advantage of globalism to feed kids
The era of test-optional admissions, at least for elite colleges, is coming to a close. People are starting to realize that standardized tests actually *help* disadvantaged students. In fact, I have a whole video at @reason about this!

The Red Tape Relief Initiative might just be the most underrated success of the last few years of Montana government. In many ways, Montanans in 2024 are far more free than they were in 2021. My hope is that there is much more to come. My latest for Lee Newspapers👇#mtpol
Our interest payments are increasing rapidly, and it’s crowding out our ability to spend on important priorities like the child tax credit, infrastructure, and more. It’s not a fun thing to talk about, but we need to do something about our national debt. forbes.com/sites/benritz/…
My political baseline was formed by Hillary/Obama/Romney filling the roles of establishment Dem/progressive/Republican—all broadly neoliberals So it’s jarring to think about what effect Biden/Bernie/Trump filling these roles may have on the views of kids who were 8-12 in 2020

This bill isn't perfect, but it temporarily expands the CTC, restores immediate expensing for businesses’ domestic R&D expenditures, and is mostly offset so it won't significantly worsen near-term deficits. Read more of the pros/cons from @Laura_k_Duffy: bit.ly/3HJHmI3

The Smith-Wyden bipartisan tax package - expanding the child tax credit & reviving business tax benefits like R&D - passed the House under suspension Huge numbers in favor. Final vote is 357-70. It’s now onto the Senate
If you’re a Center for New Liberalism member, check out this podcast I did with @JeremiahDJohns! We talk about the CTC and proposals to expand it, plus other parts of the new tax bill like R&D expensing and the budget offset

72 Followers 415 Following university and graduation year | position @ company | accomplishments, if any | hobbies | disclaimersSometimes it makes sense to say “we’ll disagree on first principles but agree on policy.” Housing is like that. I’m a growth enthusiast and a property rights maximalist. More lefty people can, conversely, see new housing as weakening landlords. All cool. We’re on the same team.
Perhaps my most small-c conservative view is that a life in the suburbs with a stable job and a happy family really is The Good Life. There’s no need for anything countercultural or radical. Grilling, cornhole, playing w/ your kids, and hanging out with your spouse is awesome!
It's sort of fascinating how this sort of messaging appears to be somewhat correlated with full employment. ie, a lot of late 90s movies (Office Space, The Matrix, American Beauty) had similar (if perhaps less wholesome) themes.

Not only does this subtitle totally misrepresent Dennett’s compatibilism, the body of the article attributes the “fantasy of free will” phrase to him in a quote where he is clearly expressing *someone else’s position that he rejects* 🤦♂️
Obviously I would never use the phrase “fake news from the failing New York Times”, but upon reading this subheading (which gets Dennett TOTALLY wrong) I’m sorely tempted…

It’s probably the case that this is mostly true of humanities majors rather than, say, engineering. But there’s nothing *inherently* easy about the humanities, there’s been a choice to make the courses easy to please students. You could make hard classes if you wanted to.
I think the skeleton key to every elite campus controversy is that the classes are too easy and the students aren’t doing enough homework.

Seems like every fad data point has a lifecycle, where people gradually become aware of it (2 years), it serves as the basis for some new political movement (2-4 years), until it eventually gets disproven and the whole movement it spawned goes out of fashion (6 months to 1 year).
