    Jeet Heer Retweeted Adam Tooze

    The GOP practices blunt partisan Keynesianism (stimulus when they are in power, austerity when Dems hold the White House). Dems need to move beyond bemoaning this as hypocritical -- it's what a party that cares about power does.https://twitter.com/adam_tooze/status/1208363991057063936 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Adam Tooze @adam_tooze
    Republican lawmakers enacted $889 billion in net spending cuts during the final six years of Obama’s administration by contrast under Trump Congressional largesse has juiced the economy at a rate comparable to the crisis stimulus, but without a crisis! https://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2019/12/17/newsletter-firmer-footing-slow-growth/ … pic.twitter.com/FD9F99R8S8

        Seems Dems are still too traumatized by the 1994 and 2010 defeats to shrug things off the way the GOP does (and did after 2018).

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        Republicans shamelessly give into the temptation, that a lot of Democrats are aware of and try to resist, that is, the temptation to put political self interest ahead of what's good for the country.

        Sometimes deficit spending is for the good of the country.

        LOL. The currency union is slowly but surely destroying the EU.

        Conversely, Dems practice political virtue by refusing to denounce GOP for its massive deficits because we know massive deficits are not an economic problem. Mayor Pete talking about deficits may reflect his core cynicism to raise issue against GOP.https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a30142238/mayor-pete-buttigieg-democrats-deficit/ …

        Laymen like myself call it the “Two Santa Theory.” Spend like crazy when you are in power and go nuts about the deficit when the other guys are in power. The GOP will use it without fail if they lose in 2020.
