    Yesterday we started a convo w/ the rules pkg about ending #PAYGO, a political policy lacking economic merit that sabotages progress where Americans value it most: healthcare, education, housing, & more. Today I’m proud to cosponsor legislation w/ @RepJayapal to end it.https://twitter.com/gideonresnick/status/1081302743753650176 …

        Good use of social media: Educate and describe positive measures and actions you are taking. Help your constituents (and students) understand the process--and even the frustrations--of legislation.

        You want honesty? Her Green New Deal and @SenSanders Medicare will cripple the U.S. financially and some leftists seem okay with that. Hell Sanders will add 32.6 trillion and Cortez hasn't even proposed a cost just said tax rate hikes up to 60 to 70% will be worth it.

        It will not cripple the economy. It will save money. Try reading studies (the 1 recently funded by the extreme right wing Koch bros). It shows 2 be trillions in savings. Also, look at all westernized countries. They have coverage for all & it costs less per person than usa per pp

        Are you trying to quote The Mercatus report? That report shows a savings of 2.2 trillion over ten years off the 32.6. But also asserted that it could also increase 3.3 trillion over that same ten years. But most other studies show a solid average of the 32.6 trillion..

        Also you know as well as anyone anytime the government is involved numbers tend to be way off. It usually for the worse because they cant even follow a simple budget.

        How about a guaranteed way to get Congress to fix the shutdown? Close the Federal Reserve Discount Window during shutdowns. When the banks can't get access to billions at 0%, they'll force their paid Congress to open the government.

        NEWS: The House just passed a measure to restore the bipartisan PAYGO rules. Restoring these rules is the right thing to do to ensure that our nation does not go more deeply into debt and our children and grandchildren are not saddled with this burden for generations to come. pic.twitter.com/3O5AthDCb9

        Im on her side with her views, loved the way she talked & campaigned, but Im not sure our House should be like high school & be all about how many “likes” & “twitter followers” you have. @SpeakerPelosi is probably the only one capable of dealing w/Trump right now, let’s respect!

        I didn't say anything to that regard, I was merely comparing numbers^^ There is no obvious alternative to Pelosi for now anyway and she certainly knows her way into a fight.

        I get the excitement, but comparing numbers between 2 strong, but different women in our own party? Lets stand together to fight this, not point out differences or popularity. The R’s are counting on inner turmoil between the women, we must show them what we can do together! ❤️✌🏼

        Yes and no, they may disagree all day long, as long as they both continue to go after the @GOP relentlessly and simultaneously. Which they both will, given how horrible the @GOP has become that's also not very difficult. Most countries have more than 2 political parties anyway.
