    This is going to be a real problem going forward: the elite's instinctive recourse to austerity is going to make the economic pain caused by the pandemic even worse and longer lasting.https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1250807002902691846 …

    Massive, once-in-a-century budget cuts for every state and local government in the country will *guarantee* the economic contraction becomes a full scale recession/Depression for years.

        Protestant flagellation for the sins of the people. 400 years of Mayflower influence.

        Then workers will mobilize against them. I've fucking had it with austerity economics.

        Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax will be a great start. There’s still plenty of wealth. Time to start being fair.

        This is not austerity nostalgia. States/local government can’t run deficits; it’s up to house/senate to increase help for states

        We need to fix this BEFORE next year.... because the Democratic Party cannot be walking into an issue where they have to spend the first year fixing this garbage. We can’t afford to waste that first year’s political capital on this.
