Unless you’re a freak swing voter, a good way to improve the quality of your day to day commentary on the economy is to remind yourself that you personally are going to vote for the same party you voted for last time regardless because you have strong convictions about politics. — PolitiTweet.org

The Inflation Reduction Act is a relatively modest spending package that breaks with some environmentalist dogmas and takes a balanced approach to energy policy — that’s good! https://t.co/S5nOrWo4Og — PolitiTweet.org

Nice to see but also genuinely absurd that US law requires a lengthy environmental impact assessment of tolling highly congested roads. — PolitiTweet.org

@politicalelle @NickAPappas @neontaster If you guys will say the word “the claim that @neontaster made that Matt Yglesias objected to was in fact false, was wrong and Matt was right” then we could move on and debate other matters. But factually, he was wrong and I was right. — PolitiTweet.org

@MattZeitlin I think this 100% started with sincere confusion, but then instead of saying “oh I misunderstood” folks are derping around based on partisanship. — PolitiTweet.org

This dope said, in public, on the internet, that “there was not zero inflation in July.” I said, correctly, that he was wrong. Now he admits there was zero inflation in July but he’s lying and pretending he never said it — astounding behavior, like a toddler. https://t.co/BXo8ZRJxFX — PolitiTweet.org

I find this is a frequent Twitter dynamic. Someone says something that isn’t true, I say “that thing you said isn’t true,” and then that person’s ideological allies point out that had the person made some different claim that claim would have been true. But so what? — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Absolutely true. If conservatives had reacted to one month of good inflation news by saying “it’s just one month” I would not have objected. What happened instead was they made false statement so I corrected them. — PolitiTweet.org
Mike Worth @MJWorth63
@mattyglesias No economist or otherwise non-drugged normal person quotes a one month number as reflective of anything. It’s one data point.

@JaPol00129456 We’re not talking past each other at all, I’m making a simple factual statement and he started out with a sincere misunderstand (because he’s dumb) that he’s now doubling down on (because he’s intellectually sloppy). — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
The hill that I am literally going to die on is that there was a zero percent inflation rate in July because it’s true. This dipshit won’t just say “that’s true” even though it’s true, so he keeps shifting around to other claims. — PolitiTweet.org

The “semantic game” Biden is playing is staying the statistics accurately and using the words to mean what they mean. Do rightists think stocks jumped after that CPI print because Dark Brandon deceived financial markets? Stop being such whiny morons. — PolitiTweet.org
Noam Blum @neontaster
So you’re admitting that Biden is playing semantic games here. Thank you. https://t.co/9LxsXg6kQV

The real pain is going to come when Q1 GDP is revised upward to converge with GDI and the “recession” goes away. — PolitiTweet.org

At any rate, hope everyone is looking forward to redoing this “debate” in 66 minutes when the PPI report comes out. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
On left, 12 months of CPI prints as levels. You can see it went up a lot for eleven months and was flat in July. On right, 12 months of inflation — rates of change. It was high for eleven months and zero (actually very slightly negative in July). There’s no trick here. https://t.co/d9QVNWVw2u — PolitiTweet.org

This is just not true. Conservatives are making fools of themselves about nothing. — PolitiTweet.org
Erielle Davidson @politicalelle
@mattyglesias No change from the previous month does not mean zero inflation. It means inflation is consistently bad.

@Itsjoeco @TheStalwart Seasonal adjustment ≠ year on year growth. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Look, it’s just one month — maybe in August or September or October prices will go up a lot again. But year on year inflation is just a concatenation of months. We already knew that prices rose a lot in the previous eleven months. The new information was about July. — PolitiTweet.org

Guy who doesn’t know inflation is, by definition, a rate of increase. — PolitiTweet.org
Noam Blum @neontaster
There was not zero inflation in July. It was still 8.5%. There was zero increase, not zero inflation. https://t.co/V0oy4jTLqd

Can’t believe the Biden White House claimed there was zero inflation in July just because when they July inflation data came in that’s what it said. — PolitiTweet.org

A movie about an ex-president who’s also a serial killer. An FBI profiler has the goods on him but everyone agrees it would be inappropriate to serve a warrant on a former president’s house so he just keeps killing with impunity. — PolitiTweet.org

Last but not least, the 111th Congress did more than people remember — not because Obama was a magician (he mishandled some key stuff!) but because that was a really big majority. https://t.co/S5nOrWo4Og https://t.co/4SHe4VG9an — PolitiTweet.org
