I completely missed that Republicans introduced a bill to increase the endowment tax from 1.4% to 21%. If passed, Harvard would go from paying ~$35m to $525m/yr in federal taxes (that’s 8.2% of its current operating expenses)

Disturbing, and more evidence that Trump admin is moving toward Soviet-style production of statistics. U.S. economists should be working ASAP on getting alternate non-fudgeable statistics (like TrackTheRecovery) active.
