While not explicitly evicting current voucher holders, they are making changes that will force people to move, some of whom won’t be able to find a new place that will accept a voucher.10 Apr 2025 20:42 +0000at://did:plc:com3x3iokhpe7gue2fpqasju/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmiejfh5zc2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/jacklandry.bsky.social/post/3lmi4ulzegc25Love to find these super old CBPP reports when researching something10 Apr 2025 18:25 +0000at://did:plc:com3x3iokhpe7gue2fpqasju/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmi4ulzegc25https://bsky.app/profile/jacklandry.bsky.social/post/3lmho4ybpyk2dNew Congressional Research Service report concludes the TCJA had a minimal impact on the economy https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R4848510 Apr 2025 14:01 +0000at://did:plc:com3x3iokhpe7gue2fpqasju/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmho4ybpyk2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/jacklandry.bsky.social/post/3lm4eodaubc25I wouldn't be surprised if tariff revenues are used as rhetorical cover for the lack of TCJA extension+ pay-fors.
