@USofStephen @JustinWolfers @Excellentspeelr But we did not decide to spend less. So we actually have a revenue problem.

@Cutvin @JustinWolfers @Excellentspeelr Or, the government could spend less. We don’t have a revenue problem we have a spending problem. But don’t forget, to go along with your premise, if I disagree to pay X the government will take it anyway and send me to jail.

Bad immigration economics assumes every extra person is one less seat. Good economics notices they also bring a seat, a side dish, and demand for the bloke selling drinks. ⁣ ⁣ The first story is fear; the second is how economies work.

@USofStephen @JustinWolfers @Excellentspeelr You agree to pay X to get Y. You get Y. Then you say you aren't going to pay X, you're going to pay less. That adds debt. You add too much debt, then the debt itself becomes the problem. How do you not see that?

@Cutvin @JustinWolfers @Excellentspeelr You know what taxes are don’t you? Is this satire?

@USofStephen @JustinWolfers @Excellentspeelr It's not their own money. It's money that they voted to pay to someone else. And then stiffed them on the bill.

@Cutvin @JustinWolfers @Excellentspeelr No, I think you’re making the mistake that allowing people keep their own money is something that has to be paid for? “Paying for a tax cut” makes no sense.

@Marduk_Jupiter @MMT101DotORG Austrians only have freedom for the masters. Not for the populations.

@MMT101DotORG All economics is ideology based on values and works up from there. Austrian school values individual freedom - hence subjective value Marxism values people - hence the labour theory of value

Orthodox economics claims to be a scientific framework of academic theories and mathematical models. It's not, but that's for another tweet. What makes neoliberal economics different? Neoliberal economics is at its core a political and policy-oriented ideology.

@USofStephen @JustinWolfers @Excellentspeelr You're the one acting like property. You either pay your bills or you don't. If you don't, then eventually you go bankrupt. You're arguing for bankruptcy just to prove how cool and edgy you are.

@Cutvin @JustinWolfers @Excellentspeelr No it’s not. You don’t own it until you pay the mortgage off. Do you think the government owns your money? You sound like a slave.

@chicagolawyerRE @keithdorejel And only Republicans have tried to jail political opponents.

@keithdorejel The lefty loons still trying for the “authoritarian king” approach, despite rooting for the party that jails political opponents and is the only one to seek more than two terms in office. Trump has done nothing remotely “authoritarian.”

I believe Trump had genuinely authoritarian designs as indicated by his brute bulldozer approach in the early months of his term. But he went too far too fast and tanked the economy, making his power grab impossible. You need to be initially popular to dismantle democracy

@USofStephen @JustinWolfers @Excellentspeelr How does you, a homeowner, not paying your mortgage allow you to keep your house. It's your money. It's your house.

@Cutvin @JustinWolfers @Excellentspeelr How does you, a citizen, keeping more of your money put your country out of business? It’s your money.

@MindofMunitions If you "claim" that the election wasn't fair, that's proof that you aren't an American. No real American would make that claim.

First, not a single police officer died. The oficer who was CNN reported was beaten to... with a fire extinguisher? Never happened. (That's why they didn't want to release the tapes, they exposed all the lies) No, that officer died of an unrelated stroke the next day. Turns out the cops were intentionally using "pain compliance" on the crowd. This makes no sense, they were kettled in, nowhere to go. Using pain to make them comply was pointless except to cause them pain. That's why they started attacking the cops. Again, it's all in the video's they didn't want released. "fair election" lol

They want to "get rid" of us. They will if we allow them to take power again. One by one they will come for us, throw us into cages with animals and go on destroying everything America ever was to create the America they have always wanted. A different culture, a different people, a different ethos, a different set of rules for the protected classes... A different country entirely.

@MindofMunitions No, you're an immigrant. The policies you want are Fuck America Death to America. MAGA is America Last.

What about J6 made it "treason"? Looked like a "mostly peaceful demonstration" to me. You've clearly swallowed the propaganda on that one. lol My family is from England, Germany and Ireland... I am a native American. Just because we let some people in 100 years ago doesn't mean anything. We have no reason or obligation to anyone today. Also, They were White Europeans who shared the same ancestry and history as us. They were capable of assimilation. They were not coming here to change the fabric of our nation. America first, America only. Go cry about it.

@MindofMunitions Jan6 was treason. Believing otherwise is treason. Anti-immigrant, every American is the descendants of immigrants. Lies about election fraud. If someone claims there's a lot of fraud, they are intentionally lying. "America first" policies that constantly put America last.

@Cutvin Ok, you didn't directly insult me, maybe we can have a civil discussion. Exactly how is MAGA destroying America? What exactly makes us traitors?

@USofStephen @JustinWolfers @Excellentspeelr Those tax cuts are putting the US out of business as a country. At some point the deficit has to stop being added to. Republican plans are deficits until the government collapses.

@Cutvin @JustinWolfers @Excellentspeelr How can you ‘pay’ for a tax cut? Do you think it’s your government’s money to begin with?

@FrankJaminsky @tonyannett @besttrousers The plumbing is still what the market did for the non sub prime part of the market. You keep shifting the blame. No good comes of that.

@Cutvin @tonyannett @besttrousers Well technically it has everything to do with the GFC. The policies had a direct impact on how the financial sector engineered the plumbing to drive cap into the market. The "safe" side of the mkt doesn't get funded without an increasingly risky plumbing matrix in the background

Financial deregulation was 100% the cause of the global financial crisis. How can this still be debated?

@AlexanderTurok @jdcmedlock They aren't going to be made better off your way. You don't give a fuck about them.

@Cutvin @jdcmedlock >for no better reason You're acting like resources are infinite and only ever withheld out of malevolence. In reality the money has to come from someone, namely the youth. Look at that population pyramid again and think about the burden on them. Do they get any consideration?

You have to consider the counterfactual. In a world without social security, that money would have to go to precautionary savings and supporting aging parents. Taiwan has far less public spending on the elderly than Sweden, but the burden on working age people is just as high.

@directordulles @Solowngpixy @TheMaineWonk So fuck America, is what you say. You'd rather live in a commie country.

@Cutvin @Solowngpixy @TheMaineWonk I think it’s worth hurting liberal, yes.

‼️‼️. House Republican: Ground Invasion and we lose 60-70 seats. Source: Politico Been telling yall from day one: 2026 = 2006.

@USofStephen @JustinWolfers @Excellentspeelr It's the only way to pay for Republican tax cuts.

@JustinWolfers @Excellentspeelr Wolfy thinks the only metric a nation should care about is total GDP

@oiltraderlondon @JustinWolfers No

@JustinWolfers But they lower wages

@Jandlehandle1 @JustinWolfers Capital isn't fixed.

@JustinWolfers What is the effect on fixed capital? A person moving to a city doesn’t bring with them more transport network capacity, more hospitals or medical staff or more roads etc.

@MindofMunitions @TheMaineWonk Who are "you"? Russians? Commies? Nazis? You hate America. Why doesn't really matter.

@Cutvin @TheMaineWonk Thank you for admitting you want to "get rid" of us.
