In general, I’m never really sure how impatient to be about the supply side stuff because Janet Yellen and the whole Biden economic team articulate the right vision — we just need to see as much followthrough on this as possible, and sooner is better. https://t.co/aZJIcBneQT — PolitiTweet.org

The federal government is doing some good things on the housing supply side but this really only works if it’s backed up by state and local leadership. https://t.co/PF69UVM9CZ — PolitiTweet.org

We need to focus on immigration for growth not as charity or squeamishness about enforcement. https://t.co/CozPzYepjo — PolitiTweet.org

For most of the 21st century we had, in Krugman’s evocative phrase, “the return of depression economics.” Now Biden has brought us the return of normal economics (which is good!) and we need to look rigorously at anti-efficiency rules and scrap them. https://t.co/xEv2SGCnVz — PolitiTweet.org

I like this post-election @paulkrugman column about the merits of the Biden economy — strong labor markets matter! — but I also don’t think complacency is the right response to the midterms. https://t.co/r0213iZEbH — PolitiTweet.org

The Affordable Care Act’s designers said one of their goals was to “bend the curve” and end the relentless upward march of health spending as a share of GDP and it seems to have worked. (ht @DeanBaker13) https://t.co/nTpaXQp2hV — PolitiTweet.org

There’s of course more to inflation than gasoline but energy commodity prices are an unusually painful form of inflation because they don’t pass through into higher wages or really result from a strong job market. https://t.co/7nj0VLVUYG — PolitiTweet.org

Inflation measures rates of change so if gas prices stay flat for six months we’ll be in a world of year on year declines. https://t.co/ufTIMZB2mN — PolitiTweet.org

If you want Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid to sunset every five years while all veteran FBI agents, park rangers, and securities regulators are fired simultaneously vote for Herschel Walker. If that sounds bad, I’d support Warnock. — PolitiTweet.org

Read this @rmc031 piece from last spring on Brennan — the people who funded their work on protecting democracy would have done more good for the world spending it on cocaine or whatever. https://t.co/n6QKQvq3NJ — PolitiTweet.org

Higher synthesis is that the fault is with the Brennan Center — PolitiTweet.org

An interesting datapoint for understanding Dem struggles in New York is that Fetterman ran ahead of Biden is almost every county but of the three exceptions two are the PA counties in the New York media market. https://t.co/Pc1GXcPjGb — PolitiTweet.org

@nbeaudrot @RubenGallego I think the Democratic Party needs to be a bigger tent on literally every issue other than taxing rich people (I hope Ruben will pick a thing or two to run to her right on even) and a narrower tent on this one topic. — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone needs to resist the temptation to react to 4-5 percent of the population swinging one or the other in elections by radically revising their assessment of the nature of America or offering sweeping condemnations of large demographic groups. — PolitiTweet.org
