Political Calculations
July 1, 2011

For a Fourth of July challenge, how many pages does it take for the CCH Standard Tax Reporter to fully document the U.S. tax code as it stands in 2011?

If you answered 72,536, you're right. Note that we didn't say "you win"!...

Number of Pages of CCH Standard Tax Reporter Needed to Document the U.S. Tax Code in 2011

Believe it or not, that's within 38 pages of the number of pages we predicted that the CCH Standard Tax Reporter would be this year, back in March 2010! With that being the case, we'll re-present our tool for predicting the effective size of the U.S. tax code to give you a heads up for what to expect next year....

U.S. GDP Temperature Gauge

Political Calculations' GDP Temperature Gauge, 2013Q1 First Estimate Political Calculations' U.S. GDP Temperature Gauge provides a means to quickly evaluate the growth rate of the U.S. economy against the backdrop of how the economy has performed since 1980, with the "temperature" color spectrum ranging from a recessionary "cold" (purple) through an expansionary "hot" (red).

The GDP Temperature Gauge presents both the annualized GDP growth rate as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reports for a one-quarter period and also as averaged over a two quarter period, which smooths out the volatility seen in the one-quarter data and provides a better indication of the relative strength of the U.S. economy over time.
