@helaineolen @brianbeutler Stipulating that literally every person who tweets is bad, I still think the question of who is right on the merits seems interesting and significant. — PolitiTweet.org

The problem is this is a tedious macroeconomic issue that has nothing to do with people’s feelings about student loans or the role of college in society or generational fairness or anything else people find interesting. — PolitiTweet.org

*If that’s false* and Biden just helped some people out, then being mad about it is pure irrational spite. But if it’s true, then it’s a valid complaint. — PolitiTweet.org

What makes this whole discourse so cursed is that very few people want to engage with the underlying point of disagreement which is that some people think debt forgiveness imposes an economic cost (via inflation or higher interest rates) on those who don’t get it. — PolitiTweet.org

@StefanFSchubert @nicolas_sommet I’ve seen it cited frequently by people who are criticizing it exactly in the spirit of this thread — I think it’s commonly discussed because it was in an Obama speech. — PolitiTweet.org

I would say that most other indicators (the job market especially) are more consistent with the GDI story of a growth slowdown than of the GDP story where output supposedly contracted even while all these people got new jobs. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
The best part about GDP/GDI divergence is that by definition they are equal. https://t.co/OLiAAJtp9W — PolitiTweet.org

@alon_levy I think you’re not actually paying attention to what the American policy issues I’m mentioning here are and are detailing by discussing some different debates in Germany that I have no interest in or opinion about. Going to mute this thread. — PolitiTweet.org

Common sense says that deficit spending has hidden costs to the people who don’t get the money. Twenty years of depressed labor markets taught people that common sense isn’t always right. But back at full employment, common sense is true again! https://t.co/hnvfTBXYhi — PolitiTweet.org

@George_A_Callas @JaredWalczak There’s no “rule.” But yes people should be more charitable in general and receiving a windfall that you are publicly saying you don’t need is a good time to reflect on that. — PolitiTweet.org

Part of the curriculum is going to be intensive study of The Great Posts from @jholbo1 on Donner Party Conservatism to @tylercowen inquiring about epidemiologists’ GRE scores. We’ll also look at influential proto-posters like Wittgenstein and Nietszche. — PolitiTweet.org

Sometimes I wonder if I should start a blogging trade school and compete with Columbia. I’m out here paying interns and they’re charging nearly $8k per month. https://t.co/t9OQG0INch — PolitiTweet.org

The one thing everyone with a bachelor’s degree agrees on is that college isn’t for everyone and we should really be focusing more on vocational ed, trade schools, and apprenticeships but then the stuff that happens doesn’t get much coverage or discourse. https://t.co/2lIIAkEHa1 — PolitiTweet.org

If we want to see economic growth over the next two years it’s going to have to come from supply-side reforms and that means a return to boring scrupulousness about economics. https://t.co/hnvfTBXYhi https://t.co/QWlPYDV2dO — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
But I don’t think there’s much juice left in that orange. Once you’ve obtained full employment, everything you do in terms of spending or regulation involves hard tradeoffs and getting the technical analysis correct is very important. https://t.co/hnvfTBXYhi — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
This has brought many successes — robust full employment, a climate bill that ditched pricing, but also lots of bipartisan dealmaking. “Less technocracy, more politics” has had some real upsides. https://t.co/hnvfTBFP3a — PolitiTweet.org
