      Fiscal sanity is a beleaguered minority in one of the two parties, and wholly unwelcome in the other. I'm with Ted.https://twitter.com/jameshohmann/status/1285962044978507777 …

      Tom Cotton suggested at a private lunch with GOP senators and White House emissaries that Republicans should be willing to keep racking up debt to maintain power. Ted Cruz, irate about the growing price tag, asked: “What in the hell are we doing?” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/07/22/daily-202-cruz-vs-cotton-clash-coronavirus-deficits-may-preview-2024-contest-post-trump-gop/?utm_campaign=wp_the_daily_202&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_daily202 …

      Letting an economy collapse during a pandemic because you're worried about hypothetical high inflation rates in 2032 seems pretty fiscally insane.

      I'm not against some significant extension of the relief package; it's almost certainly necessary. I'm against the blank-check mindset.

          It's not a blank check, it's a $1 trillion dollar check! It has the number he opposes written on it!

          He opposes the trend, not merely a specific amount. I remember when Reagan lamented the debt was approaching $800B.

          What do you make of Cotton's counterargument that such a collapse makes a D takeover dramatically more likely, and with it an even larger climate/health/child care/student debt spending package if Biden wins

          Republicans only care about deficit or debt when dems are in power

          The problem is that in the emergency of this scope, effective responses all but require a blank check mindset.

          It's not the actions in a pandemic/recessions, it's the actions when things are humming along.

          It's ludicrous that we now have $1T annual budget deficits when employment is this low. What will the deficits be in an emergency?

          They're the same thing. Our ancestors would have worked through the pandemic, and some would have died. They would have seen this as a fit alternative to sticking us with the debt. We, OTOH, don't care about posterity. At all.

          My great-uncle's memoir says that at one point in 1918, everyone in my great-grandparents' household (four great-uncles off in Europe, the other 11 people still home) was sick. Not a hint of demanding free greenbacks from DC.
