There's a big difference between winging it and seeing what happens. Now let's see what happens. Blue check bought and paid for because I value this app.
@davidshor@SeanTrende The Constitution has an amendment process. That's it. You marshall the political coalition to ratify an amendment that creates a congressional power to delegate certain authority to independent, quasi-executive agencies. No delegitimizing court packing required.
@Brien_Jackson My pet theory is that the worse a city's financial outlook, the worse its mayoral candidates will be. Smart politicians see the ship sinking. You're left with the fiscally incompetent and looters, often the same people.
@conor64 The repeated examples of motivated reasoning to justify policy decisions that invariably favored a DNC favored constituency or cause over efficacy.
@moseskagan Too many large metro US governments seem to think Nordic tax rates with third-world services is a sustainable or, worse, aspirational equilibrium.

@janecoaston Don't sleep on The Great War either! My wife reconsidered our relationship after realizing I wasn't kidding about making her watch it, before I relented. https://t.co/qfkFgQKagg

Drain the Swamp! Dismantle the bureaucracy! Return power to the people! And, we are going to centrally plan the most complex, productive, and dynamic economy in the history of world with a team of fringe-media personalities and political outcasts!
@moseskagan@Austen ... Or at least had the wisdom to flex them behind closed doors, in view of our allies and counterparts, not with their throats in their grasp... Maybe with their hands in their grasp, if one got obstinate.
@mrp@RealPNavarro@JoeSquawk@SquawkCNBC I must have been absent from civics class the day we learned about the Executive Branch having the authority to centrally plan the American economy based on its "wants."
