Congress debates childhood one budget line at a time but kids don't live that way. In @thehill.com , Michel Boudreaux and I argue: if we spend less on children, we should at least know where public support narrows inequality and where families are on their own.

Congress debates childhood by budget lines. Children don’t live that way.
Their lives are shaped by the combination of a home, healthcare, food, childcare, schools and the time adults can afford to spend with them.

NEW: The Trump administration is banning one of the Census Bureau's main ways of protecting the confidentiality of people's responses to the #2030Census and other surveys — added statistical "noise," or data for fuzzing survey results www.commerce.gov/opog/disclos...
.02   The Census Bureau and the Bureau of Economic Analysis shall adhere to the following order of priority when considering and applying Disclosure Avoidance:

a.     Coarsening shall be the preferred category of Disclosure Avoidance methods for all statistical products.

b.     Suppression shall be permitted as a last resort, only to be used when coarsening is prohibited by law or would substantially defeat the accuracy or usability of a statistical product.

c.     Noise infusion shall not be used for any statistical product.

BREAKING: @delauro.house.gov announces at a House Oversight hearing with NIH director Jay Bhattacharya that OMB approved the agency's apportionment last night. That means the agency should have access to its appropriated funds — 42 days after its spending bill passed.

Medicaid Insurers Promise Lots of Doctors. Good Luck Seeing One.
Many doctors listed in insurer networks treat few or no Medicaid recipients, leaving patients with long waits. “Don’t get sick.”

I'm confused. If IDC rate is now 15% on all existing NIH awards as of now, does the total award amount also change? Or do we now just have more allocated to direct costs? I'm guessing they intended the former, but arent total costs listed in the award documents and public disclosure (ie Reporter)?
