It’s unreal that we might once again get a Fed that’s more focused on a temporarily inflationary supply shock than a housing-led downturn.

The Democratic establishment pulling out all the stops to back a corrupt, sexual harassing bully is exactly why Democratic complaints about Trump ring hollow.

If we had waited on Washington, almost 500,000 NYC kids would not have gotten Pre-K and 3-K in the last 10 years.

Been interested in child care policy for over ten years and this is the first time I have ever seen anyone say that it is not possible for a municipality (a rich, big one at that) to finance its own child care program. It also is not true. Like factually it is wrong.

Bombing a country and killing civilians to set back a nuclear program a few months when diplomacy can accomplish a lot more is not showing strength. There's something sick about the politics of US national security that so many people think it is.

1) Biggest wealth transfer in American history. 2) Kills solar industry, raising prices 3) almost a trillion dollar cut to Medicaid 4) nursing homes shutting down 5) energy shortages 6) 4.5 trillion in NEW DEBT. — I promise you this bill is worse than you think.

No one should ever fund new spending for more than a year or cut taxes for more than a year. Do 1-year the first session of a Congress, make permanent the 2nd session using current policy baseline. We’ve solved our deficit problem!

Joint Economic Committee Democrats, led by Sen. Hassan, estimate that the Scott amendment would affect "9 states that have automatic 'trigger laws' to immediately end the [Medicaid expansion] if the federal matching percentage is reduced" jec.senate.gov/public/_cache/…

*FURTHER* Medicaid cuts. But I thought they weren't cutting Medicaid!?!

Deficits of 7% of GDP when you're either (i) not in a recession or (ii) making some big investment is not good!
