@MeganCarolan Megan - if you ever need help unloading some Welch's Fruit Snacks, I'm happy to take any surplus off your hands!

Turns out that whenever we go on a family outing, I top off the snacks in my backpack without checking if we actually need more and I've been carrying almost a pound and a half of snacks. #momlife

I just discovered that @PandaExpress delivers. I may be in trouble.

@williamnelligan @ProfKateJudge @BenMeansBizness Egads! I was not, and wish that I had been - looks very interesting!!

@ProfKateJudge @BenMeansBizness I wonder if the great @BryanFBoroughs was there (he would love this and your work!).

Last year, our research found an unexpected link between refundable EITCs & healthy birth outcomes. Our analysis found that a refund of 10% of the federal credit could help South Carolina save more than $2 million by reducing public costs associated with low-birthweight.

A refundable state #EITC has the capability to promote economic activity, greater tax revenue, and reduced spending on public assistance and human services programs. Our South Carolina benefit-cost analysis shows a refundable EITC can go a long way. #scpol

@MeganCarolan That’s my memory, too!

(I am pretty sure it was Brenda Blasingame who said it but it was a panel discussion moving quickly so I wasn't 100% sure on attribution)

Thinking today about a conversation at our recent conference about how the phrase "ALL children" can overlook & dismiss the unique concerns and disparities facing children, and that "EVERY child" is a subtle linguistic change that brings more (needed!) nuance to the conversation.

@DakotaRudesill @JasonDJolley Wholeheartedly agree!

@BryanFBoroughs @JasonDJolley That’s good for tax attorneys and their clients, but has a major equality of access problem. Why should it be easier for people who can afford lawyers to get responses to their questions than for working class folks? Access to government should not be rationed on wealth.

Trying to speak with an actual human at the #IRS is impossible. I've been trying every trick I can to get in contact with a customer service agent with no success. Why have we spent so much money on such a dysfunctional agency? #DefundTheIRS

@DakotaRudesill @JasonDJolley Indeed. For what it is worth, if you hire an attorney who is in the Tax Bar, they have a number that is a little easier to get through. It's still an absurd thing, but they can usually get through before the business day ends if they call first thing.

@JasonDJolley real culprits are not fully resourcing the govt we have & general regrettable decline in customer service (often no better in private sector). Folks can reasonably disagree about govt size but so long as agencies exist I find it dishonorable not to make them functional for public

@DakotaRudesill Hey Professor. To my much-less-informed eyes, this strikes me as both 1) bad, and 2) maybe not as bad as it -could- be. I'm curious about your take on Russia's exit from New START? cnn.com/europe/live-ne…

@Lindseymgreen I get that a lot...

I’m excited to share what might be a new personal record: our (formerly-live) Christmas Tree still stands! #achievementUnlocked #adulting #newValentinesDecor
