Everyone should be extremely happy that Joe Manchin decided to run for re-election in 2018 rather than retiring. https://t.co/W013nml3Nn — PolitiTweet.org

The vast majority of Republican Party voters are good people who simply can’t believe the leaders of their party are dramatically more committed to advancing the interests of wealthy criminals than to almost any other cause, but it is what it is. — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, exactly, the purpose of the additional funding is to equip the IRS with the ability to go after rich tax cheats. The purpose of GOP opposition to funding the tax police is to make it easier for rich criminals to rip off the public. It’s shocking and appalling. — PolitiTweet.org

In other words, if inflation were accelerating then "how much higher does unemployment need to go for us to reach a non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment?" would be a very good question. But it isn't accelerating, so... — PolitiTweet.org

I mean, again, Republicans voted for CHIPS because they believed (rightly) that CHIPS was a good bill that would improve US competitiveness vis-a-vis China. What's insane is they now want to jeopardize that because Joe Manchin is taxing multi-millionaires. — PolitiTweet.org

Whether or not you call it a recession, it’s impressive to keep employment growing in the face of serious supply shocks but the shocks themselves are just inevitably bad news for the economy. To get more growth, we need supply side reform. https://t.co/xEv2SGBQ61 — PolitiTweet.org

If Republicans wanted to cut spending they could cut spending. But the Trump and W Bush administrations both increased spending in the aggregate. What they specifically cut spending on was tax enforcement, because their favorite people in the world are rich criminals. — PolitiTweet.org

Don't look to the US Senate to cut car dependency, look to the DC Council. Look to the state legislatures in CA, OR, WA, MA, CT, NY, NJ, and MD. They have all the power they need. https://t.co/4tfaDTW151 — PolitiTweet.org

The problem with IIJA as climate legislation is that spending money alone can't make people ride transit, you need agencies to actually improve operations and to get cities and states to improve land use policy. But this is wholly within the power of blue state governments. — PolitiTweet.org

I think this is a kind of short-sighted criticism, last year's Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act contained by far the largest investment in mass transit and intercity passenger rail of any legislation in American history. https://t.co/2HGLk6Gtfe — PolitiTweet.org

I think it is probably true that when conservatives oppose tax enforcement the *intended* beneficiaries of their plan are workaday multi-millionaire businessmen with the going easy on the drug smugglers just a kind of side effect, but it's a very bad gestalt. — PolitiTweet.org

Funding the tax police is one of the most economically efficient ways to raise revenue. But beyond that, rigorous tax enforcement is also a good way to catch serious violent criminals and others with illicit sources of income. https://t.co/JXSctK9UwC — PolitiTweet.org
