OBBBA ties the share of SNAP benefits that a state pays to the state’s “payment error rate.” Because the payment error rate statistic is based on a random sample of cases, states could face huge budgetary swings based solely on luck of the draw: www.hamiltonproject.org/publication/...

Quote from text: "A policy that could cause states to drop out of the SNAP program entirely should not be left to chance."

An overwhelming majority of American workers—over 90 percent—support the right to earned time off. @betseystevenson.bsky.social explains what a federal guarantee of earned paid time off could look like—and how it would benefit all workers: www.hamiltonproject.org/publication/...

The Hamilton Project @hamiltonproject.org · 22/07/2026

In July 1910, President Taft argued that everyone should take three months off each year. Today, the U.S. is the only high-income country that does not guarantee workers paid time off. In her proposal, @betseystevenson.bsky.social makes the case for a federal guarantee for earned paid time off:

President William Howard Taft argued in 1910 that everyone should take three months off each year because there “is such a thing as exhausting the capital of one’s health and constitution”

The challenge: Across the U.S., inflation-adjusted premiums increased by an average of 28 percent between 2017 and 2024. In addition to raising prices, insurers are canceling policies, exiting markets, and, in some cases, going insolvent. #FigureFriday
