"It would shift more resources up the income ladder than any bill passed since scorekeepers started keeping track." In this New York Times Opinion piece, Jacob Hacker and Patrick Sullivan highlight the four most regressive aspects of the 'Big Beautiful Bill.' nytimes.com/2025/06/25/opi…
I’m excited to share a guest essay co-authored with Jacob Hacker which was published today with the The New York Times, as well as two reports we published at Equitable Growth on Republican’s so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” nytimes.com/2025/06/25/opi…
In the first of our two reports published today at Equitable Growth, Jacob Hacker and I unpack the elements of Republican’s historically regressive One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). equitablegrowth.org/congressional-…
What does the public think of the GOP's One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), and how does providing information on its regressivity affect attitudes towards it? Jacob Hacker and I explored this in a working paper published today at Equitable Growth equitablegrowth.org/working-papers…
“Legislation speaks louder than words.” Excellent analysis by Jacob Hacker & Patrick Sullivan of the bill before the Senate today that is “the most regressive, least populist policy package in memory.” It’s terrible on tax equity, heath care & hunger.
Why are Republicans working nights on a holiday week to ram thru an unvetted bill? Maybe b/c the more American people learn abt the bill, particularly the lopsided costs & benefits, the less they like it. Even true among Rs' own voters. h/t Jacob Hacker Equitable Growth
