I don't write about impeachment much; others are doing that work. But isn't it amazing to see the GOP openly, desperately trying to prevent any evidence from being presented? https://t.co/DxEuDxlX3v — PolitiTweet.org

I'd agree with this, with one addendum: in order to get working-class white votes, the GOP also became the party of racial and social intolerance. Business, on the other hand, finds tolerance profitable. So there's another fault line 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting from Simon Wren-Lewis on how right-wing parties ceased to represent the interests of business. His answer: these days they represent the interests of the ultra-wealthy, which isn't the same thing 1/ https://t.co/55jSDoUnvF — PolitiTweet.org

My back of the envelope math: compared with pre-tax-cut projections, the deficit is up around $300 billion, or 1 1/2 percent of GDP. Baseline GDP growth is around 2%; we got 3% in the first year after the tax cut, then a relapse to 2% in 2nd year 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

Tax cuts and (some) spending increases under Trump are now almost as big as the Obama stimulus at its peak. It was badly designed stimulus, with low bang for buck, but a heck of a lot of bucks 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

Unproductive to panic, but if Trump is reelected, a lot of the blame will fall on the asymmetric Beltway fixation on budget deficits. This fixation hobbled the economy under Obama; then the fiscal hawks got all quiet when Trump exploded the deficit 1/ https://t.co/NQcDFUe4Fv — PolitiTweet.org
