      OUR VIEW: Should he win, @JoeBiden will be taking office facing the largest debt in American history, and all he can think to do is add to it like there's no tomorrow. https://washex.am/3ePpASP

      You think our concern for overspending should stop when Biden takes over?

      What do you mean by overspending?

      FWIW, this really gets to my core issue. Not that one can't oppose more spending, per se. But what I don't see is a larger framework that would help us establish when spending becomes overspending, and I think that's what's missing in a lot of conservative commentary.

      Conservatives could & should do better at that, but the really big red line is when you start proposing *new* categories of *permanent* spending.

      I'm always reluctant to ascribe motives to people, but my sense is that conservatives have an ideological opposition to government interventions in various markets, but rather than saying so directly, they cite "overspending" or "the deficit" as an easier rhetorical approach.

      I suspect the issue is that folks like you @philipaklein @tpcarney and so on think it's not in the best interest of the public to change the structure of how we finance childcare in this country. But rather than explaining why you think that is, the deficit is used as a dodge.

      I've made both arguments, because both are considerations. That federal interventions are bad policy, but also that we cannot afford it. Regardless, suggestion from @dandrezner @jbouie et al is that somehow we're newly discovering aversion to debt for partisan reasons

      When I write at more length than a tweet on this stuff, I typically get into the questions of both spending & incentives. It is not an either/or thing. We had some of these intra-Right debates with child tax credits, or even (as Phil & I both recall) Romneycare.

          Of course, we have had fewer debates about new programs during Trump's presidency because there have been so few proposals with any likelihood of passing Congress.

          Romneycare became Obamacare and presto—that converted it to the death of freedom. Even for the then craven Romney we all used to know and laugh about (“severely conservative” etc).

          Are you seriously bringing up Romneycare? I was arguing against at time it passed in 2006

          I can't see how anyone can be for massive deficit-financed tax cuts during a growing and strong economy but also in a general sense be really worried about deficits.
