Republicans take policy positions so toxic that voters refuse to believe that they're actually espousing them 1/ https://t.co/xjiS2QaDWy — PolitiTweet.org

Not just about the aggregate growth rate. They specifically predicted a huge surge in business investment resulting from the tax cut, which hasn't happened at all. — PolitiTweet.org

Having spent much of life in academic economics, it has come as a shock to see foreign policy neocons like Kristol willing to take a principled stand, while all too many center-right economists remain party loyalists no matter what 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

I really don't know what motivates people like Taylor at this point. Personal ambition? He's 73, and anyway Trump only likes hacks like Moore. Unwillingness to admit that he was wrong to back Trump in the first place? 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

This is why Trump bailing on a relief deal is so awful. Never mind the impact on GDP — the suffering that will result from inaction is huge — PolitiTweet.org

Basically, if Rs wanted to goose the economy before the election, they should have moved in July at the latest. And Dems would have gone along! They missed their window, and have only themselves to blame 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

If there was a huge groundswell of growth, people might feel it, but they don't. Nor do they feel the bottom dropping out, although some big layoff announcements might hurt Trump 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

The GDP report is still to come, and will be a big number— but I think everyone understands that it's about the past, specifically a partial snapback that has already stalled out. Also not going to move the needle 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

Seeing a lot of talk about the economy and the election that doesn't seem to take into account the fact that we're only 28 days away. Folks, there won't be any new big numbers — we've already had the last job report, which was neither good nor bad enough to move the needle 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

But seriously, why did anyone expect a deal? The CARES Act happened because the Trumpists were in a panic over the prospect of the economy killing them electorally. Now they're so deep in a hole that only a miracle or major theft can save them, so incentives very different 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

So why is he doing it? Pettiness, maybe made worse by his medical woes; and hard to avoid the sense that he especially hates the idea of having to compromise with Pelosi, thereby acknowledging that she has real power 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

But appearances matter: by throwing a temper tantrum instead of seeking a deal, Trump probably tilts a few more voters to Biden 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

If Biden wins, one small silver lining to all this irresponsibility and viciousness is that he'll be able, with truth on his side, to say that he inherited a mess created by his predecessor, and deserves time to clean it up. — PolitiTweet.org

Sabotaging the economy, and he hasn't even lost yet. Imagine what will happen when (if — nothing is certain) he actually has lost but still has 2 1/2 months to do damage https://t.co/IxQgevHxNo — PolitiTweet.org

The IMF endorses Joe Biden. Well, sort of — it calls for large-scale public investment, which is the main component of Bidenomics https://t.co/cG2Zxobuw7 — PolitiTweet.org

Things I didn't know: the rich and powerful sometimes get excessive, dangerous medical intervention; it's called "VIP syndrome." Probably worse when the patient doesn't believe in expertise, or reality in general https://t.co/8fBm3ECTPG — PolitiTweet.org
