NEW PIECE: I finally return to my "hierarchy of finance" series with quite a long read about the Household, particularly the Antebellum (pre-Civil War) U.S. household. This piece in fact became so big, I had to save the twentieth century... for part 2. www.crisesnotes.com/the-househol...

At a time when it is widely believed that the U.S. has a substantial housing shortage, and certainly has deep housing affordability problems, further burdens on overstretched public housing agencies and other grantees for the sake of unitary executive control is a worrying development.

This system would have direct access to sensitive personal information about domestic violence survivors, HIV positive individuals, employees and more. Redacting that information would involve an enormous amount of additional labor from grantees, placing them in an extraordinary difficult dilemma.

A major reason this has been possible is my excellent research fellows and coauthors @juanhanes.bsky.social @josh1935.bsky.social who have written great first drafts which has made this process so easy. Here is the first part of our OMB memo series. www.crisesnotes.com/omb-fiscal-y...

Tomorrow at @crisesnotes.bsky.social: @juanhanes.bsky.social, @josh1935.bsky.social and myself have a piece digging into the OMB's role in the Presidential Budget, the budget preparation process and the most important government job you've never heard of at the center of it all.

Our plan is to cover every single memo of Fiscal Year 2025, interspersed with explainer pieces on the operation of the OMB, and then move onto Fiscal Year 2026 and, eventually, we'll be fully caught up for "real time" analysis of OMB's new memos.

Very excited for the piece coming out tomorrow. A lot of work went into this, not to mention the preparation for the whole series. Knock on wood I think we'll have a piece in this series once a week through at least the summer.
