I am an egg waiting to hatch @jasonfurman, follow me there.
But for myself, I will be doing that from the outside starting on Friday afternoon. See you all there.
Ideas matter—I am proud of how the team at CEA has contributed to them, am glad our dedicated staff will keep doing that from the inside.
Bigger contributions to smaller issues is also important. Some favorites: spectrum, COI in retirement savings, and competition.
The debate is not always proportional to importance. Expanded EITC/CTC—passed in 2009 and now permanent—help 16 million poor people annually
It is important to make even small contributions to big things: the Recovery Act and the ACA certainly qualify as big.
But for my final words from @CEAChair I want to briefly mention some of what I most proud of which is policy.
I recently did tweetstorms on my favorite CEA reports and speeches (all at whitehouse.gov/administratio…), in the future will be @jasonfurman
Tomorrow is my last day on this Twitter handle, looking forward to being @jasonfurman starting Friday.
