Some personal news: this is my last week at @TCIFiscal. After 5+ great years at TCI, I’m beginning a PhD program at @PennSP2. I hope to study the intersections of taxes, transfers, and family economic security/family well-being. See everyone in a few years. 😅

TCI was presented the People Power Award last night at #POD23! Thank you, @hamkaecenter, for this humbling recognition and your incredible partnership. We had a wonderful time in community with other advocates and with TCI staff, past and present!

The law of Virginia has been settled on this since 2020, @GovernorVA. ⬇️ You can’t use executive action to overturn § 2.2-3900, the Virginia Human Rights Act. If you want a debate, then we’ll see you at a microphone. If you want to break the law, then we’ll see you in court.

Take three minutes and watch @pwcdanica give an AMAZING speech defending a bill to ban discrimination against LGBTQ+ Virginians. This is what Democratic leadership looks like.

Horrible half for ND offense, but it actually wasn’t the worst first half I remember. That would be the 2007 game vs. Michigan. First three drives went for *negative* 32 yards. ND finished that half with 6 yards, 2 lost fumbles, 1 INT. Finished the game with 79 yards + 5 TOs.

The Governor dropped this news on a Friday night because he knows it’s cruel & shameful. To all the kids and families who just want to be welcome in school — these steps are nowhere near done — and we won’t stop fighting with you. washingtonpost.com/education/2022…

Virginians' new partially refundable earned-income tax credit means low-income earners could get a bigger refund during tax season — or even a refund that otherwise wouldn’t exist. It's a policy Democrats have pursued for years. So how did it happen now? virginiamercury.com/2022/09/16/aft…

How many times are they going to mispronounce Norfolk on this ND-Marshall broadcast?

Because PPP is in the news again: a friendly reminder that not only were PPP loans forgiven, but they also allowed an additional tax benefit because forgiveness recipients also could write off any qualifying expenses they spent their tax-free forgiven PPP loans on.
Jeff Stein@jstein_star

Biden says the PPP loans should have been forgiven but criticizes the outrage over student loan forgiveness when few complained about the PPP loans during the pandemic that were forgiven

@JaredWalczak I forgot about that proposal until a friend reminded me earlier today!

So you're telling me that there's going to be additional student loan debt forgiveness for Pell Grant recipients even if they didn't start a business that operates for three years in a disadvantaged community?

To the extent people are concerned about that, there is somewhat of an upper bound, at least for dependent student pop.

In terms of incentives, future borrowing behavior, unintended consequences, etc., at least for federal direct undergrad loans, those amounts are still capped (both per year and aggregate) for dependent students. studentaid.gov/understand-aid…

@kearney_melissa My understanding is that would only apply to undergrad direct loans, which for dependent students, are currently subject to annual ($5.5k, $6.5k, and $7.5k for year 1, year 2, and year 3 and beyond, respectively) and aggregate caps ($31k). So there is at least that constraint.

Also, can someone explain how the 5% cap going forward on payments means something other than these loans now essentially being monopoly money - printed by Treasury, authorized by the Dept of Ed, paid for by taxpayers - subsidizing ever rising higher ed tuition?

Are the economists in the administration all hanging their heads in defeat? The inequity…inefficiency…level of spending…perverse incentives going forward…subsidies to a higher ed market that already has terribly screwed up pricing…. What an astoundingly bad policy move.

I see now that the proposal for the new income-driven repayment plan would define “non-discretionary income” as 225% of federal poverty. Roughly $30,500 for an individual, or $62,400 for a family of four. studentaid.gov/debt-relief-an…

The proposed rule will be published soon, and then there will be a 30-day public comment period. ✍️

Also. For borrowers with original loan balances of $12k or less, they could qualify for forgiveness after 10 years of payments, rather than 20 years under the current program.
