About this site

Every proposal here is exactly that — a proposal, not law. We model published or reported plans using the real current rules as a baseline, and label clearly where figures rely on assumptions. The aim is to cut through the headlines so you can judge a policy by what it would actually do to your household, not by who's championing it.
