From f106d696840770078416deba006aa4cf1cf4b60b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Max Ghenis Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2025 22:41:14 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/9] Add TOB revenue variable and fix LSR recursion MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implements trust fund revenue calculation from SS benefit taxation using branching + neutralization (the correct approach). Changes: 1. New variable: tob_revenue_total - calculates trust fund revenue 2. Fix LSR recursion guard to prevent infinite loops 3. Test files demonstrating the approach Results: - Baseline TOB revenue (2026): $85.33B - Option 2 TOB revenue (2026): $109.62B LSR recursion fix adds re-entry guard to prevent loops when branches calculate income_tax. ๐Ÿค– Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- .../gov/ssa/revenue/tob_revenue_total.yaml | 19 ++++ .../labor_supply_behavioral_response.py | 96 +++++++++++-------- .../gov/ssa/revenue/tob_revenue_total.py | 42 ++++++++ test_branch_calc_respects_neutralization.py | 46 +++++++++ test_branch_neutralization_inheritance.py | 49 ++++++++++ test_clone_independence.py | 32 +++++++ test_lsr_branch_creation.py | 56 +++++++++++ test_lsr_reentry_guard.py | 45 +++++++++ test_lsr_simple.py | 34 +++++++ test_neutralization_in_branch.py | 30 ++++++ test_tob_onmodel.py | 21 ++++ test_tob_option2.py | 31 ++++++ test_tob_with_lsr.py | 79 +++++++++++++++ uv.lock | 2 +- 14 files changed, 539 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-) create mode 100644 policyengine_us/tests/policy/baseline/gov/ssa/revenue/tob_revenue_total.yaml create mode 100644 policyengine_us/variables/gov/ssa/revenue/tob_revenue_total.py create mode 100644 test_branch_calc_respects_neutralization.py create mode 100644 test_branch_neutralization_inheritance.py create mode 100644 test_clone_independence.py create mode 100644 test_lsr_branch_creation.py create mode 100644 test_lsr_reentry_guard.py create mode 100644 test_lsr_simple.py create mode 100644 test_neutralization_in_branch.py create mode 100644 test_tob_onmodel.py create mode 100644 test_tob_option2.py create mode 100644 test_tob_with_lsr.py diff --git a/policyengine_us/tests/policy/baseline/gov/ssa/revenue/tob_revenue_total.yaml b/policyengine_us/tests/policy/baseline/gov/ssa/revenue/tob_revenue_total.yaml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..165e9fbd15e --- /dev/null +++ b/policyengine_us/tests/policy/baseline/gov/ssa/revenue/tob_revenue_total.yaml @@ -0,0 +1,19 @@ +- name: TOB revenue -
