Another idiotic move. Why would anyone who is not in the business of doing tax returns oppose people getting a pre-populated return. Could be at least 75% of Americans. In civilized countries you can file your taxes by text message!
Elon Musk is now bragging about getting rid of the team that put together the 'Direct File' tax filing system, which allows citizens to easily file their taxes for free. Direct File is a big target of the for-profit tax prep industry including corporations like Intuit and H&R Block.

Do a benefit cost analysis of US AID and you will be hard-pressed to find another agency that does so much good per dollar spent. We should be grateful to people like Atul who has taken time from his medical practice to help the poor, sick and starving around the world.

so many Twitter bios say "opinions are my own" instead of "opinions are shaped by norms, values, and ideologies imparted by family, education, peers, media, and culture"

One of the most important policy reflections, ever, of behavioral science/behavioral economics, going back to Laibson and Gabaix on shrouded attributes, long ago, and Sarin on consumer finance, pretty recent, and emphatically including Herd, Moynihan, Emens, and Thaler on sludge/administrative burdens. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…

A friend of mine just promoted a conference that looks amazing, but $945 for speakers? SJDM.org is the best conference I know. 2.5 days long, 5-600 attendees. Over the last 8 years we've charged an average of $356 for faculty and $164 for students
