@MichaelRStrain But that's to my point — congressional republicans didn't cut spending in 2003-2006 or in 2017-2018 when they had majorities and a GOP president who wouldn't signed spending cuts. https://t.co/zNPUL9FGZr — PolitiTweet.org

What is the non-cynical explanation of why congressional republicans only push hard for spending cuts when there’s a Democratic president?

What are America’s three worst economic policies?

Very niche health insurance reform I'm getting into these days — Medicaid beneficiaries should be allowed to purchase supplemental coverage. https://t.co/9zTkITH9tJ https://t.co/dT5TdGyuaY — PolitiTweet.org
