      I will be voting NO on the Rules package with #PayGo. It is terrible economics. The austerians were wrong about the Great Recession and Great Depression. At some point, politicians need to learn from mistakes and read economic history. @paulkrugman @StephanieKelton @RBReichhttps://twitter.com/GunnelsWarren/status/1080318713331617792 …

      Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren
      In order for #PayGo to go into effect, it needs to pass the House. If some 18 Dems vote no, it fails. The vote will take place on Thursday. Will enough progressives have the courage to vote no on the first roadblock to #MedicareForAll, #GreenNewDeal & #CollegeForAll? Let's see. https://twitter.com/ddayen/status/1080291053930856448 …

      I thought it willfully shackled us to not making us go bankrupt. Also, can’t they waive it in any case they deem neccessary? That’s how I read it.

      Margi, the theory behind why PayGo is bad is that 1) the government can't go bankrupt, since it issues the currency, and 2) Republicans ignore debt/deficit spending anyway, so PayGo just means that their priorities get funded and ours don't.

          Ok I hear your theory but it doesn’t sound like a concrete truth. I’m not saying Paygo is wonderful, I’m saying it’s a red herring or a McGuffin in the so called “more progressive than thou” wing of the incoming DEM freshmen. Let me find that article again to double check.

          Honestly, it would prevent large parts of the progressive agenda. (The #GreenNewDeal is nearest to my heart.) I don't think progressives want to exclude anyone or appear "holier than thou." We welcome everyone!

          Green new deal will not happen without DEMS being in charge of all 3 branches. I hope everyone gets that. We’re talking 2022.

          Didn’t know that. The article was in a tweet from R. Reich. It gives an overview of the rule, some of its history. I didn’t look into the founding of the journal before reading article.

          If you want to know more about #1, you can read about Modern Monetary Theory, #MMT . @StephanieKelton is a good person to follow for that. I think #2 is pretty common-sense, but ask if you want more explanation.

          Every, not just USA, government issues currency! But if you do too much, result is Zimbabwe or Venezuela.

          Since it issues the currency? Printing more money doesn't mean we have more money, or that the rest of the world thinks the dollar is worth anything. Keep writing those rubber checks though and see how well that goes.

          That's missing the point. Governments can effectively go de facto bankrupt. Eg, in practise, Zimbabwe and in Venezuela where their currencies became useless. Even short of that, countries do get problems from severe deficits and debt (as Japan in the 90s or Greece in 10s).

          PayGo helps avoid those (granted extreme) scenarios. More mundanely it reduces govt debt payments & thus interests rates (which helps middle-income family budgets - mortgage and car loans). Plus it helps build coalitions to pass liberal legislation eg ACA:https://www.cbpp.org/federal-budget/commentary-house-paygo-rule-could-help-advance-progressive-goals …

          #PayGo remains the law of the land regardless of a house rule by virtue of a 2010 law. Having it as a rule puts power with Dems as opposed to OMB. So, the progressives want Trump's OMB to enforce PayGo as opposed to their own caucus? Smdh at the sheer stupidity.

          Bullshit With #paygo as a rule, each individual bill must offset costs. This has and will be used to block Dems from even voting on anything with having The federal law (which should also be repealed) only applies in aggregate, so you can offset costs AFTER passing good policies

          With #paygo the house will just sit there being ineffective as always under Democrats Without #paygo the house could vote for and pass overwhelmingly popular policies and then if those don't become law it's clearly Senate Republicans and the WH to blame. And they'll be voted out
