WASHINGTON, D.C. – Joint Economic Committee Democrats today announced the launch of their first interactive map which will allow users to understand critical data and policy issues through visual formats on JEC’s website. This first interactive data set details how many years of a typical American family’s bills could be supported by the $193,000 each member of the top 0.1 percent will receive from the Republican tax law. It shows how many years it could support their household income, health care premiums, child care costs, and electric bills by state.

“I am pleased that this data visualization tool will provide users on our website with a valuable resource to view and understand JEC data and analysis,” said U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Ranking Member of the Joint Economic Committee. “These interactive maps and charts will give constituents and Congress alike the opportunity to learn more about economic trends in our country in a new way. As the evidence mounts that the Republican tax law serves large corporations and the wealthy, this initial map will display how the tax bill is affecting American families throughout different states and regions.”
