"There's literally 20 pages of this where Texas knows full well what someone's income is, and they can check with the IRS....This is all about dissuading them from applying." @ZekeEmanuel discusses Medicaid cuts and "savings" with @CitizenCohn:

Just awesome and really well-deserved. Congratulations!

This fall, I'll join the University of Oxford as Professor of Social Policy, Inequality & Opportunity. I'll become the Director of the Economics, Inequality and Opportunity Program at INET Oxford, and will join Nuffield College as a Professorial Fellow. inet.ox.ac.uk/news/zach-paro…

I also don't think CBPP is responsible for the politics of legislation that's scored as raising taxes being more challenging than those of legislation that isn't scored that way.

Give me a break, Matt. Let's disagree civilly. I & CBPP never lied to anyone. Our goal always was to secure the largest possible gains for people with low or modest incomes, and I'm proud of what we helped accomplish. I'm disappointed in you for this groundless ad hominem attack.

No, it's not incorrect. Matt says providing a universal benefit costs no more than targeting it if you just raise taxes on upper-middle- and upper-income families getting the benefit. But that assumes a different political universe where policymakers will readily raise taxes.
