    Thread relevant to my argument that Republicans should focus on the cost of living. These are good times for income, employment, and consumer spending. But the spiraling cost of health care, education, & energy is eating away at all of that. https://www.nationalreview.com/magazine/2017/07/31/republican-economic-platform-unclear-2008/ …https://twitter.com/oren_cass/status/1230505794686373888 …

    2/ Punchline: Popular perception is correct. In 1985, the typical male worker could cover a family of four's major expenditures (housing, health care, transportation, education) on 30 weeks of salary. By 2018 it took 53 weeks. Which is a problem, there being 52 weeks in a year. pic.twitter.com/dPxmqNffOm

        Except there are some big methodological issues with that thread.

        Sure. But emphasizing affordability is a winner. Anything that lowers the cost to put money in an employer’s pocket, start working in a new field, build something, etc.

        Implicit in this is the assumption that given the choice, consumers would choose a van at the price and quality of the older Grand Caravan over the current model because they would be happier with the money than the additional features. That's a fair argument, and easily testable

        Healthcare and housing are the problem; but can you think of any other sectors of the economy more molested by government intervention? Does Cass ever call for innovative, limited government solutions to these problems? Because further socialization will be counter-productive

        My energy costs per kilowatt have gone down. Healthcare and education are mostly driven by gov't involvement. Get gov't out of those areas and you'd see more reasonable costs.

        It's not eating away all that because he counted healthcare as a cost but not as income. But for almost everyone, it is both. Correct that problem and pretty much the entire effect goes away (& there are other minor methodological issues with the thread).
