EVIDENCE, IN CONTEXT

Economy & taxes

Start with the policy question. Then inspect the source.

THE POLICY CONTEXT

Tax and spending proposals distribute costs and benefits differently across households, businesses, and time. The text, effective dates, and budget estimates are necessary context.

Who has the authority?

Congress sets federal taxes and appropriations. Monetary policy is a distinct responsibility of the Federal Reserve. State and local tax systems operate separately.
