"Austerity is just temporary" makes me pretty uneasy, man.
Austerity is Sneelock’s word.
..and Paul Krugman's. it's a perfectly good word.
I think they are just cockblocking Trump.
Look, I know better than to argue with you about anything - there just aren't enough hours in the day. that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. Me,I think we may see this more of a hindrance to the Dems agenda than the Repubs.
I get what you're saying and it's better than CUTGO but I'd rather they restore Corporate Tax Rates and buy everybody in America a fucking puppy.
maybe it is "smart politics" but most people HATE politics. I think there's a lot of good stuff in the rules package but PAYGO bugs the hell out of me. I mean, it's not a surprise, Steny & Nancy have been talking about it for months. my concern is that it's not just TRUMP they are interested in cockblocking. I think it's fair to be concerned it's going to discourage big ticket Dem programs despite assurances that it won't.
the fact that you see no downside isn't as encouraging as you might think -- I remember you stating categorically that TRUMP could never be elected President. :p
uggy poopy doody.
