@eskohn If you are not honest about mistakes, you don't learn and improve. Pretty basic, actually. If you hide mistakes you never improve. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

3 big mistakes that set up the end of Roe 1. Not codifying Roe into law in '09 2. Dems losing Senate in '14 & WH in '16 3. RBG not retiring 1 was a bad decision 2 happened b/c Dems lost working class voters by large margins for the first time 3 was a selfish decision — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

It is not even a close call, anyway you ask the question, the American people supported Roe by significant majorities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senators that negotiated BOTH the bipartisan infrastructure bill & gun safety bill - each a historic accomplishment: @MittRomney @kyrstensinema @robportman @Sen_JoeManchin @BillCassidy You don't have to agree with them on everything to acknowledge they get things done! — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

.@lisamurkowski and @ToddYoungIN fingerprints are consistently found on bipartisan efforts, which is what the Senate needs. More importantly, they serve with character, integrity and political courage. — PolitiTweet.org

Getting off nuclear was a catastrophic decision by Germany. The world needs to embrace nuclear energy if we want to have energy stability and address climate change. https://t.co/0rHP170nU0 — PolitiTweet.org

Missing a key fact. The highway trust fund, which is funded by the gas tax, was underfunded when Obama was running The bipartisan infrastructure bill significantly increased funding for the highway trust fund - it is not underfunded today (thanks to Biden) — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

One difference was that the Highway Trust Fund, which is funded by the gas tax, was underfunded when Obama was running. It has recently received significant extra funding in the bipartisan infrastructure bill. — PolitiTweet.org

While not nearly as functional as it should be, there are signs of life in the Senate. Between the historic infrastructure bill and the recent gun safety framework, there are signs of progress, mostly driven by Senate moderates. https://t.co/COW5IxeOU5 — PolitiTweet.org

In hindsight there is little question that federal gov't & Fed provided excess stimulus, contributing to inflation. But what was the choice? Too little - that would have been worse. There was no roadmap for how to handle a global shutdown and very hard to get precisely right. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

@deep_navy I didn't say the Fed was wrong - my point was this is likely going to get bad. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

The CNBC crowd is overly focused on the drop in stock prices, wipe out of crypto currencies etc The real actions will occur in the real economy. The Fed will keep raising rates until it slows the economy, which will unfortunately drive up unemployment, lower wages & hurt folks — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

This feels like a problem that will correct itself. Between higher fuel costs and a slowing economy driven by higher interest rates, travel should slow allowing the airlines to catch up on staffing etc. https://t.co/hdEF81gzYO — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Some things are predictable. Inflation is high, the Fed is raising rates, the stock & housing markets crash and psychology turns negative. A recession will be soon be upon us accompanied with rising unemployment. Then a ferocious fight will start about cutting rates..... — PolitiTweet.org

The SCOTUS has become a lightning rod of our intense partisan political behavior yet the glimpses we have of how the Court operates consistently show a highly collegial group of justices who, while they have very strong disagreements, generally seem to like and respect each other — PolitiTweet.org

In 5 years Nasdaq up 70% and Bitcoin up 700%. The former is a collection of companies producing revenues/cash flow, the later a new "store of value." The price of each heavily impacted by interest rates and money supplies. It would seem like they would at least converge.... — PolitiTweet.org

If interest rates were the same as they were when Clinton was President, which is where they are roughly heading, then interest on the federal debt would go from 5-6% of the federal budget to ~10-15% (depending on term). Look for this to lead to intense budget/deficit fights. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

The economy can do fine with higher rates. During Clinton's Presidency, a time of strong economic growth, rates were much higher than they are today Higher rates will flush speculative investing, which is probably good But higher rates will also grow the deficit, which is bad — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Why are costs so high in the US? Recent monetary policy and stimulus, NIMBY housing policies, Excess regulation, Lack of universal healthcare, No efforts to control drug costs, Outdated antitrust laws, and No industrial policy focused on supply chain. All fixable — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

We need universal healthcare - where every American has a basic healthcare package for free. It would save lives and lower costs. Unfortunately too many think the only way to have universal healthcare is with a single payer system, which is bad policy and unpopular. — PolitiTweet.org
