Now I suspect the “real” conservative view is that we should fight inflation by cutting Social Security or Medicaid and other programs for the poor. But the thing they’ve been saying is that we should make these permitting/leasing changes Manchin pushed for and won. — PolitiTweet.org

Which programs do Republicans want to cut in order to reduce inflation?

Agree with this. Also important for discourse purposes to note that the permitting/leasing provisions essentially do the thing Republicans have been saying Biden should do to fight inflation. — PolitiTweet.org

The PWBM analysis is great, buy I suspect it understates the dis-inflationary impact: 1) CBO & JCT will find larger… https://t.co/ewSfY…

And to be clear, while I don’t think cutting anti-poverty programs is a good idea it is factually true that taking resources out of the hands of the neediest families would be disinflationary. The conservative view on this is, to me, immoral but it’s not irrational or anything. — PolitiTweet.org
