We've seen a lot of hubris/arrogance around how new tech/business practices will disrupt/replace huge aspects of the US financial system, yet here we are today weighing the Fed's every word just like people did in the 90s. Interest rates are the most powerful force in markets — PolitiTweet.org

I think Powell said an inflation goal of "2%" five times so far - not softening on that particular position. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

I served with @TimRyan in Congress & he would always say "I represent the folks that shower after work, not before" Tim is the kind of leader we used to admire in this country - tough, honest, sincere and always ready to mix it up on behalf of workers He'd be a great Senator — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

.@TimRyan has probably run the best Dem race this cycle and if he loses because he's outspent then the party and donors have to ask themselves some hard questions about how money is allocated. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Summers has been correct from the start & his arguments remain compelling now. You just have to wonder if the "worship at the alter of fighting inflation no matter what the cost" argument has sufficiently factored in changed to our economy since the 70s https://t.co/CyWencBrJv — PolitiTweet.org

Trick or Treat Capitol Hill Style. https://t.co/XuNYBgekv8 — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

By all accounts, this was an attempted kidnapping, assault or perhaps assassination of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives. To frame it as anything less is completely irresponsible. https://t.co/vxE6L2eVuA — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Agreed. Say what you want about Musk, but by creating @Tesla - and it becoming so successful - he has changed the business model of the global automotive industry and forced it to pivot hard to EVs. It's hard to think of any business that has accelerated decarbonization more — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

This is just awful and scary. Prayers for a speedy and full recovery to the wonderful Paul Pelosi. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Same story every cycle: minority of Ds push crazy ideas like defunding police or making health insurance illegal & then vulnerable members in swing districts forced to work to distance themselves from these ideas instead of just focusing on their opponent https://t.co/xvPVpl996X — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

The United States of America - the undisputed leader in innovation and free enterprise - remains the largest economy in the world and I would not bet against us! https://t.co/cQrKWJVy6p — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

We should all wish the new Prime Minister the best of luck. We need our world leaders to succeed during this challenging moment. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

YES. The debt limit serves no purpose. There is no evidence that it has made the Federal Government fiscally responsible - because we are not fiscally responsible - and it just leads to costly brinkmanship. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

@salernovision Don't follow. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Some perspective: I think climate change is an existential risk, which is why I'm dedicating so much effort to decarbonization But the consequences of escalating the Ukraine war to a nuclear conflict between US & Russia are much worse — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

With the first real threat of the use of a nuclear weapon since 1945 upon us today's leaders need to follow the lessons of prior world leaders who used diplomacy, engagement, communication and skill to avoid the threat successfully for nearly 80 years — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

@mistahbuhau Disagree. They fid work when you could convince voters to vote for the other party. Today, very few voters abandon their party's candidate no matter how bad they are so the ads don't move the needle as much. Motivating your base moves the needle in a hyper partisan world — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Poll confirms candidates are spending too much time/money attacking the other candidate - time/money should be spent on turnout Sadly, the level of polarization makes it almost impossible to get voters to crossover - it's all about turning out your voters https://t.co/CWY1rYAE4r — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

The infrastructure bill, CHIPS Act, & IRA (climate bill) will drive US reindustrialization & leadership of energy transition - two things that create good paying jobs, rebuild the heartland, & make the US more competitive, sustainable and resilient That's all Dems should run on — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Sadly, voters increasingly view Senate races less about the person running and more about control of the Senate. This unfortunate reality argues for candidates spending more time talking about why their party should control the Senate and less on attacking the other candidate. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

The next generation of successful political leaders will have to be honest about our fiscal realities - we can't afford either big tax cuts or big spending plans. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

IMO this is not the right question b/c there is ample evidence that high inflation, left unchecked, destroys living standards of low/middle income folks The right question is should the Fed pause and allow some data to come in before pursuing their 'raise at all costs approach?' — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

https://t.co/EoemuLHHxK via @NYTimes This should not be as big of a surprise Yes, democracy is clearly under attack. And yes, it should be the number one issue. BUT people who are struggling day to day will always make that economic struggle their main issue. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

The two most important economic trends in the US are reindustrialization and decarbonization. If we get this right, we will be more resilient, sustainable, independent and economical stronger. The government policy is in place to do this, it's now the private sectors moment. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

The reality of modern politics. It's not about money, Ds and Rs each have similar and huge sums of campaign cash + dark money It's leas about persuasion as sadly fewer voters each year are persuadable It's all about turnout. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

@MorphingReality There is almost a zero probability of getting a better speaker than Nancy Pelosi. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

She's right. The question I ask the "generational change" crowd is "would you of rather had someone else in the seat during '16-20 as the only check to Trump?" The answer is always "no" which undermines their whole argument. We have to get back to a world of valuing experience. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

When stock analysts speak to the media about a company they have to disclose if they own its stock Wonder how many of economists that now regularly speak to the media about Fed policy have consulting arrangements with hedge funds that are betting on the market rising or falling? — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

There has not been a nuclear weapon used in combat since 1945 - a remarkable achievement & tribute to the power of diplomacy, alliances & good leaders The world should recommit now - and learn from past leaders - to do everything to avoid the use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

As we enter a post-covid world characterized by inflation or stagflation - and a harsh, poverty increasing, global recession because of monetary policy designed to counteract it - we should remember that covid lockdowns & accompanying stimulus were not without cost — PolitiTweet.org
