Additionally, changes to a topline number isn’t necessarily shorthand for a conservative or progressive policy either. Ex: There’s a world where a bigger number over longer time could be a conservative win, or a smaller number over shorter time could be a progressive win.Or not! — PolitiTweet.org

& I suspect it may also be why you see media reflexively centering coverage of these bills on a number instead of what’s actually in them. The thing is, 1 number doesn’t tell you anything. It doesn’t help you as a normal person understand at ALL how your life could improve. — PolitiTweet.org

That’s why it’s so important to discuss this not just in numbers, but in changes to the leg. Let’s say we bring down $3.5T. We can do that by taxing the rich to offset, cutting universal pre-k, or shortening the funding time. All can bring outlay down. Which one do you prefer? — PolitiTweet.org
