SCOTUS killing all independent agencies but then saying it doesn’t apply to the Fed is really peak “constitutional law is just making stuff up.”

Tick Tock Matthew Yglesias The Fed definitely issues regulations! See, for example, ecfr.gov/current/title-…

digression about the Fed is a useful reminder that constitutional law is just a form of discretionary policymaking power exercised by the Supreme Court rather than Congress." nlrbedge.com/p/supreme-cour…

Tick Tock Matthew Yglesias Depository requirements are definitely core to the central bank’s function of running monetary policy. But the question just is should the entity that makes that call have heads protected from removal.

Zaid Jilani These days, all you get as a nondisabled poor is food stamps and medicaid. Occasionally you might get a Section 8 voucher, but those are limited in number. TANF I guess theoretically exists but not really.

Zaid Jilani One little heuristic you can follow on this is look at what they are trying to cut (SNAP and Medicaid). If there were other programs for the poor, ones that let you live large on cash especially, they'd be targeting those too. But they don't exist.

Don Matthew Yglesias One of the funny responses to the "free bus" proposal is that Zohran is clearly out of touch because the bus is already free. Fare evasion on the bus system is massive, over 50% by some estimates I've read (which comports with what I see riding the bus).

Jordan Weissmann If you take the abundance agenda principles seriously, then clearly it entails at the very least single-payer health insurance. This is because abundance is against pointless/wasteful bureaucracy and administration.

Jordan Weissmann Whether they follow those principles to their logical conclusion (or arbitrarily only apply them to administration/bureaucracy in construction) will help determine whether this is a sincere ideology or just a moderate triangulating faction.

Clayton Jordan Weissmann Our current health insurance system wastes half a trillion a year on excessive administration. That’s the part the abundance people cannot stand (on its own terms, abundance does not necessarily have an issue with the uninsurance)

Nathaniel Bechhofer There is a Canadian province that does single-payer car insurance and it's also proven to be a good way to reduce administration. You don't need to have teams of lawyers fighting each other over which driver was at fault when there is one insurer.
