Hello, Dems! We hope you're hanging in there. We are picking up steam with Trump's cabinet picks rolling in: trolling is no way to run a government—not to mention the world's largest economy—but that's all he seems to be interested in doing. We know our duty is not just to point out the absurdity of this but rather to continue proving the value of a competent and senstive civil society. To that end, we are offering one-on-one summer job counseling this week! See below for details. We are also highlighting external events on tax reform and negotiating lower healthcare prices. Onward~

The Coming Tax Debate – Wednesday, November 20 from 12:10 - 1:00 PM. SLB 121. RSVP HERE.
With most provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) expiring next year, the tax system will be a central point of debate and policymaking in the next presidential administration. Policymakers are faced with real tradeoffs that will have long-run effects on the U.S. fiscal outlook. Please join the Budget Lab for a discussion of the coming year in federal tax policy.
