1. This is a really terrific post on the perils of popularism applied to social policy. Using poll numbers that are very closely clustered together & which vary wildly depending on precision of wording isn't, it turns out, a good way to make policy. https://twitter.com/MattBruenig/status/1447185606082273280 …

"keep the benefit nearly universal." Temporary CTC is capped at $75k/parent, excluding half of US households w/children. That is nowhere near universal. Shor never argues against universal CTC, he argues for a permanent benefit with a lower cost to survive horse-trading.

"Smaller, more steeply means tested CTC but permanent is a better deal than a more generous but temporary CTC" is a lot clearer of an argument without the distraction of a bunch of verbiage used to claim a 4 point polling gap is significant.https://twitter.com/Trunk_Slamchest/status/1447237158004084741 …
