I recently spoke to members of Congress and referenced a number of pieces. Here are the links to those pieces.

What are some ideas for lowering the growth of health costs? See the section starting on pg. 11 of this testimony.

On our lack of investment in quality, affordable pre-K, and how we’re an international outlier in that regard. Look carefully at the 2nd figure–it tells this story well.

On some ideas for progressively raising revenues. Also, see this on a financial transaction tax.

On the need for fiscal stimulus in the next recession, even at “high” levels of the debt/GDP ratio.

On lowering the black/white unemployment gap.
