    I'm relieved the Dems nominated Biden over Sanders or Warren, but the idea that Biden is "centrist" is still wrong. His $11 trillion in new spending & $3.5 trillion in taxes dwarfs any Dem Prez nominee since at least LBJ. And a Dem Congress may pull policy even further leftward.pic.twitter.com/PklebwFjhH

        Who are you envisioning as the 51st or 60th Senate vote that is to the left of Biden's campaign promises? That seems... unrealistic.

        I work from the assumption -- after a long time watching Congress -- that moderate Democrats generally surrender when the weight of Congress and the White House is bearing down on them. This is what killed the House Blue Dogs between 2007 and 2010.

        I agree Biden taxes would be closer as a %GDP with Kerry. But on the spending side, not close at all.

        the notion that he's a moderate seems to depend entirely on: a) ascribing to him positions he no longer holds b) his being a feeble, vaguely clueless old white guy

        Yeah, he's basically temperamentally moderate -- an old guy from a (perceived) more bipartisan era. But yeah, as the Dem party has ran far left, he's come along for the ride.

        This calculation of new spending is extremely suspect here. How is this calculated, and why are many other published studies far different than what you are purporting?https://budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2020/9/14/biden-2020-analysis …

        By "many other published studies" you mean there is one other. PWBM does good work but they also missed a lot, as I describe here.https://twitter.com/Brian_Riedl/status/1305643544917483520 …

        Today, the good people at Penn-Wharton (PWBM) scored the full Biden spending agenda at $5.4 trillion over the decade -- far lower than my $11 trillion estimate. Here are some of the differences. https://budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2020/9/14/biden-2020-analysis …

        Hmm, shouldn’t the caveat be that we’re in the middle of a pandemic? I think that explains a large part of the spending increase. Not some green deal type aspiration for spending just for the sake of it.

        Looking at the budg t and deficit over the last 4 years and then pointing to Biden and saying he will spend to much takes some real chutzpah
