      You can't find a more perfect distillation of liberal budgetary theory than "tax cuts are spending."https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1153761367696035841 …

      You're such a clown. You voted for a massive tax cut which is entirely new deficit spending. You're a liar and a fraud and you also have bad hair. https://twitter.com/RandPaul/status/1153753564336050176 …

      You know, you’re too smart to write this stuff as anything but trolling. You understand—as I wrote to you last night—that “wanting to cut redistributive social welfare spending” is not the same as “wishing to balance the budget and reduce the federal debt.”

      Replying to @yeselson @baseballcrank

      So ok—knock yourself out. You guys hate redistributive social welfare spending. It’s part of what you believe to be a kind of public immorality. But don’t pretend you care a damn about deficits and debt—and I’m not suggesting you should—because you don’t. And *you know that.*

      It’s a fair point. I get offended by intellectually dishonest arguments and I am astonished when it’s obvious that, as in this case, the interlocutor is not an idiot—as many people are—but actually knows better. I want people—all of us—to stop that. It’s utopian.

      Dan is not a hack. Neither are you, Rich. You're obviously talking at cross-purposes, but we've all been bouncing around off of one another long enough to recognize that sometime there are just big ideological gaps between people.

      I'm perfectly willing to recognize when Rich & I - or others I argue with on the Left, broadly construed - are just at loggerheads over different priors.

          Yes, we do have different priors, whiteout a doubt. And I don’t mind being at ideological loggerheads—happens a lot. But you guys should know that conservative deficit/debt/spending rhetoric—not the policy, the rhetoric—is viewed as selective/bad faith. Goldwater voted against

          the LBJ/JFK tax cut in budget deficit grounds. Not my politics or concern, but it was principled. Paul just does one part of the fraction.
