This week at CBPP, we focused on state budgets and taxes, health, the federal budget, and the economy.
* On state budgets and taxes, Michael Leachman and Samantha Waxman recommended ([link removed]) that states adopt a tax on high-value housing, often called a mansion tax, to help fund services and infrastructure critical to residents’ long-term future.

* On health, we updated ([link removed]) our timeline tracking the Trump Administration’s efforts to undermine the Affordable Care Act.

* On the federal budget, Richard Kogan updated ([link removed]) a report on a Senate appropriations bill that would shortchange human services programs despite room for increases in the recent budget deal.

* On the economy, we updated our chart book ([link removed]) on the post-Great Recession economy and our backgrounder ([link removed]) on how many weeks of unemployment compensation are available.
