@bellisaurius @mattyglesias Interestingly enough, that 2010 CBO "current policy" green line prediction pretty much nailed it 13 years later and we're still on that trajectory. 2010 #SimpsonBowles Blue Ribbon Bipartisan Commission.

Other than the creation of the #SimpsonBowles commission, Howard Schultz's entry into the 2020 race is the most hopeful political moment in the last two decades. #Schultz2020 #NoLabels #fixTheDebt #MEK

@Ocasio2018 Great article @ezraklein. Unfortunately @Ocasio2018 is focused on how unfair it is that SHE is being held to a double standard when the takeaway should be how to govern from the center and embrace compromise. Reject socialism. And corporate welfare. #simpsonbowles

I could hear my friends in the balanced budget/economist community collectively sighing a little wistful sigh at the brief return to the national stage of former Sen. Alan Simpson. You know who you are. #GeorgeHWBushFuneral #Bush41 #simpsonbowles

@BenjaminPDixon Not with that attitude. Alan Simpson was 79 when he rolled up his sleeves (along with Erskine Bowles) & served our country on the #SimpsonBowles commission. It's been 2801 days since the report was issued & still no implementation. #FixTheDebt #ThirdWay #BoomerCorps #MEK

Some reform of the “entitlements” is a good idea but not after the @SenateGOP gave away the store to the wealthiest Americans. #SimpsonBowles would raise revenues and cut expenses. It’s the only way for us to stop the borrowing from China. Everyone takes one for Team America. https://t.co/XgipMueNAu

The victory on tax cuts was only the first step. Conservative leaders say the next target will be cuts to entitlements like Medicare. https://t.co/ztmknkcmVC

@stroyer @SenateGOP Agreed. They are leveraging the country knowing full well that they can cut taxes because everyone likes the idea of tax cuts but entitlements and military spending are popular and won’t be cut. The borrowing will continue. Instead, we need #SimpsonBowles.

@MeetThePress Sorry, but you are a real turd, @MickMulvaneyOMB. Not to at least acknowledge the credibility of the allegations as asked by @mitchellreports. Also, I guess you're just a deficit hawk so long as it happens under dems watch. #SimpsonBowles #endthefed

@SenatorLankford Agree 100%. Flawed model to assume economic growth will pay for tax cuts. Money was spent. Now time to pay piper. #simpsonbowles #endthefed
