    One-time emergency spending in an emergency involves a different calculus than permanent forever programs.https://twitter.com/sahilkapur/status/1241925739114565634 …

    One fact the COVID-19 crisis highlights is that the financial constraints on U.S. public policy are self-imposed. Congress is debating a $1.6 trillion-plus bill and nobody‘s asking “how are we gonna pay for it?” They all know the answer: borrow the cash because they can.

        agreed but my point is a bit different. the constraints are more internal than external

        Most financial constraints - for governments, businesses, or individuals, unless they are really operating close to the edge - are based on internal fear of triggering external consequences.

        The trick is going to be making sure the one-time emergency spending actually remains one-time.

        Really, was that the attitude during the stimulus bill that Obama asked for in 2009?

        The continued reckless spending & artificial economic stimulus prior to this pandemic demonstrates how what should be emergency measures are diminished & more difficult when they are justified. How can people not grasp the difference in policy as a response to an emergency?

        Dan, tRump has run TRILLION dollar deficits for 3 straight years. He's grown out debt 15% since he's taken office. You've said nothing about that fact, Mr fiscal conservative. Please, opine on sound fiscal practices now for the first time. http://Usdebtclock.org

        I'm as much a deficit hawk as anybody and I f****** hate structural deficits but that's just not germane to the conversation today.
