@mattyglesias don't the rich donors have some of the most progressive views?

@mattyglesias @George_A_Callas i mean, it's also deficit hawks have been screaming about this since Pete Peterson, and it hasn't come true. The only constraint on spending is inflation and resource scarcity. It's never about the size of the deficit or whether we can 'afford' a program.

@mattyglesias @ChrisOldman4 @MarcGoldwein @BBKogan @econJaredB @marthagimbel @Noahpinion @JustinWolfers @DKThomp @kaj33 most of the increase is due to high interest rates that are going to institutional investors and wealthy people. that interest rate is also the 'easiest' variable to change

@SD_Comic_Con i mean, gotta be 2013 hall h loki, right?

@DetroitOnLion i'm wondering what 'source' ai will use once the obvious disincentive to create becomes overwhelming to creators. somewhat cannibalistic, imo

[Ken Mazur @mazurkr]

@mattyglesias what is the 'problem' that needs to be fixed?

[Ken Mazur @mazurkr]

@mattyglesias the interest rate is a policy choice. it's the one variable we can change. why are paying such massive returns to already wealthy bondholders?

@mattyglesias @besttrousers @talmonsmith meanwhile, TANF hasn't been updated as a program since 1996...

@nick_field90 that's basically in the campus. uofm is integrated with a2, for the most part, especially with off campus housing.

@tracewoodgrains @mattyglesias Ego the planet in real life

@mattyglesias @bscholl we could stop making interest payments on debt owed by already wealth bondholders.

@EvanGorelick I'm curious why there's no exploration of 'what' the national debt is in your article. it's portrayed as something vaguely negative, but the thrust of the article is how people feel about it

[Ken Mazur @mazurkr]

@GreenPlusAnE @GigachadHunterB @mattyglesias how would inflation change if existing benefit levels are kept. the 'source' of the benefit is a legal question, not a fiscal or monetary one.

@PrideOfDetroit Trade down, Brad! Get a 3rd please…

@daveweigel i mean, yes, but also...adhering to 'rules' and norms seems so antiquated in this age of trump

@mattyglesias @aoxamaxoa i'd like to reframe the q. matt, what companies would you decline apps from if you where the Chief of Staff in a new dem administration?

[Ken Mazur @mazurkr]

@BudgetHawks @GreenPlusAnE @mattyglesias @MarcGoldwein does this include medicare spending? kids are cheap. seniors aren't

[Ken Mazur @mazurkr]

@mattyglesias @RakiahNoari 2 party system is deeply flawed.
