Independence of Federal Financial Regulators

"Conventional wisdom regarding regulators is that the structure and design of the organization

matters for policy outcomes. Financial regulators conduct rulemaking and enforcement to

implement law and supervise financial institutions. These agencies have been given certain

characteristics that enhance their day-to-day independence from the President or Congress, which

may make policymaking more technical and less “political” or “partisan,” for better or worse.

Independence may also make regulators less accountable to elected officials and can reduce

congressional influence, at least in the short term.."Federal Financial Regulators

Debt Limit since 2011

"Total federal debt can increase in two ways. First, through debt increases when the government

sells debt to the public to finance budget deficits and acquire the financial resources needed to

meet its obligations. This increases debt held by the public . Second, through debt increases when

the federal government issues debt to certain government accounts, such as the Social Security,

Medicare, and Transportation trust funds, in exchange for their reported surpluses. This increases

debt held by government accounts. The sum of debt held by the public and debt held by government accounts is the total federal debt..."

The Effects of a Minimum-Wage Increase on Employment and Family Income

"Increasing the minimum wage would have two principal effects on low-wage workers. Most of them would receive higher pay that would increase their family’s income, and some of those families would see their income rise above the federal poverty threshold. But some jobs for low-wage workers would probably be eliminated, the income of most workers who became jobless would fall substantially, and the share of low-wage workers who were employed would probably fall slightly..."
