      1. Let's look at the record: Reagan, the Bushes, and Trump ran up deficits, unnecessary ones. Clinton cut the deficit. Obama ran a stimulus deficit to fight the worst recession in 80 years. Once economy grew, he immediately (too quickly in fact) started cutting.https://twitter.com/lizcgoodwin/status/1202642363287511041 …

      “My party’s not known for worrying about the deficit or the debt too much but it’s time for us to start getting into that,” Mayor Pete says in NH town hall in response to voter anxious about debt. Says everything his campaign has proposed is paid for.

      2. If the record shows anything, it's that Dems are too quick to cut deficits in order to score centrist brownie points (this goes back to even FDR in 1937). Buttigieg is happy to foster a myth that limits the ability of Democrats to pursue good policy.https://twitter.com/lizcgoodwin/status/1202642363287511041 …

          Better policy can be pursued by NOT doing this. And making a virtue of doing this only endorses conservative attacks on doing better policy.

          Pete is such a Republican lol. I mean, it's a product of his environment. So, is what it is.. but those policies he is spouting just preserve the status quo.

          Centrists spend great energy legitimizing conservative myths. Recall when George Stephanopoulos said, “As a Democrat, I will say the Democrats should rue the day when they made one simple act: the day they subpoenaed Robert Bork’s videos”? (They didn't.)https://fair.org/extra/hit-the-rewind/ …

          As I blogged a while ago, this self-destructive tendency has ruined quite a few otherwise laudable documentaries. https://conservatismisun-american.blogspot.com/2016/08/the-best-of-apologists.html …
