Why this name
A grant is what government gives. A levy is what it takes. Everything on this site sits between the two.
Why a pen name
To keep the focus on the numbers, not on the person writing about them. You do not have to take the writer's word for anything: every figure links to its source, and the Sources page lists them all, with the document and the page or table each one comes from.
The numbers are the government's own, cited to the table. The conclusions are ours, and we say so.
