@johnjhorton @ymeskhout I would just say "Facebook marketplace needs to shut down tomorrow, and will be allowed to reopen sometime in the future when they bring to us a serious plan to curb the sale of stolen goods." — PolitiTweet.org

@drvolts @jbarro Yes: My contention is that more cross-pressured and sporadic voters care about the future of Social Security and health care programs than about which books are available in which libraries. — PolitiTweet.org

@drvolts I mean, if we were talking about making books illegal that would be one thing. But what we're actually talking about is which books appear in libraries, right? — PolitiTweet.org

@jonathanchait Because the size of the Trump tax cuts was limited by Corker/Toomey/Collins deficit concerns. If a grand bargain with Obama had reduced projected SS/Medicare spending, they could have done a much larger version of TCJA. — PolitiTweet.org

@jonathanchait I'm not sure. I think taxes on the rich would actually be lower today if they'd done the grand bargain with Obama. — PolitiTweet.org

I mean, it's not "weird" it's the core principle of their party (they would bathe every child in America in cross-sex hormones if they thought that would help pass a regressive tax cut) but it's the relevant context. — PolitiTweet.org

What's weird about this to me is that a route has been available for a very long time for Republicans to obtain cuts to Social Security & Medicare in a bipartisan way — agree to a package that includes higher taxes on rich people. They keep saying no. — PolitiTweet.org

Yep, we had a sluggish labor market for so long but the point of a robust stimulus package and a rapid return to full employment is we now shouldn't be talking about "creating jobs." We need efficiency! — PolitiTweet.org

Folks, the last time we let a Yalie into the White House he let Osama bin Laden get away, invaded Iraq for no reason, and the whole world economy collapsed. He also tried to privatize social security and a mid-sized American city was destroyed in a hurricane. Just say no. — PolitiTweet.org

Different kinds of inflation hit different. Spikes in commodity prices really hammer living standards. Housing costs are devastating for the renter minority. But is the price of labor-intensive services rising due to high wages really so bad? https://t.co/hJ5MTxpN2J https://t.co/OnMz2FUD5Y — PolitiTweet.org
