Always thought those lyrics were a bit of a slander against Kirk, a wise leader who time and again acted to avoid unnecessary bloodshed. But what are you going to do? — PolitiTweet.org

In a sane country we would vote tomorrow to eliminate the statutory debt ceiling and say that Treasury is categorically authorized to borrow whatever is needed to cover appropriations. *Then* it would be true that there’s only one debate. But that’s not the situation. — PolitiTweet.org

Thesis: Tip counter service workers generously, their pay is low. Antithesis: Generous tipping norms subsidize miserly employers. Synthesis: By depressing official prices and official wages, generous tipping norms help control inflation and maintain full employment. https://t.co/8XMDZgLg6z — PolitiTweet.org

Measures like closing tax deductions for rich households are a good way to drain the pool of excessive spending while protecting the most vulnerable. https://t.co/r69yimmjdk — PolitiTweet.org

I don’t love the term “excess savings” but this underscores the challenge of reducing inflation — many people now have the capacity to spend more than they earn, but it’s hard to collectively consume more than we make. https://t.co/uHxRcDneCL — PolitiTweet.org

I don’t think it’s that hard to understand why people feel cranky about the economy despite slowing inflation and a strong job market — prices are still rising faster than wages. Gap is narrowing and will hopefully reverse soon but it hasn’t happened yet. https://t.co/HtjqPw4W2E — PolitiTweet.org

Details on this — employers holding onto more of their seasonal hires than usual is important in a macro-sense, but doesn't generate real-time coverage since it's hard to write articles about things not happening. https://t.co/bMn7AjJslg — PolitiTweet.org

One reason why it’s possible to have strong January employment despite stories about layoffs is the data is seasonally adjusted and January *always* has high layoffs, so the strong number means “fewer layoffs than in the average January” which is always a high-layoff month. — PolitiTweet.org

The hawkish pivot in 2015-2016* drove me crazy — the economy is complicated but inflation was still below-target so why bother with any complicated considerations? (* Also the most underrated “why Trump won” factor) — PolitiTweet.org

I think if the labor market is strong and inflation is above target, you keep raising interest rates — slowing down the pace so you can keep checking the data was right but both considerations are saying they can go higher. — PolitiTweet.org

There’s going to be a certain amount of double-backflip good-news-is-bad-news response to this because it means more interest rate hikes but don’t overthink it — strong employment growth is good and just means the world will survive the negative impact of rate hikes on Elon Musk. — PolitiTweet.org
