Dear
@USProgressives, We didn't elect a#BlueWave to continue GOP austerity that undercuts progressive policy. You are supposed to be progressives. We need you to be progressive in your votes, not just your campaign words. Vote NO on the rules package that includes#PayGo. https://twitter.com/RBReich/status/1080503137146826752 … -
I voted for you,
@BettyMcCollum04. Please say No to#PayGo: https://twitter.com/GunnelsWarren/status/1080318713331617792 … -
As it turns out, to get nice things like a
#GreenNewDeal, Medicare for All, or Social Security expansion, we need to invest serious money.#PayGo severely limits Congress's ability to move forward these crucial programs. Thank you,@RepRoKhanna for being outspoken NO on PAY-GO. -
If
@NancyPelosi is such a “master legislator,” why do Dems have to pass#PAYGO that kneecaps themselves as first order of business? Did the@GOP pass#TAXGO where they didn’t pass tax cuts unless they could pay for it? Of course not, why would they punch themselves in the face? -
Seriously, AOC is NOT playing. She will vote a resounding NO on
#PayGo and I am raising my monthly donation to her, although I'm a granny on fixed income. People who fight for us in Congress are just too damn rare! https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1080544851345764354 … -
The
#PayGo rule proposed by@NancyPelosi is a self-imposed, unecccesary obstacle to stopping climate change & enacting a#GreenNewDeal.#VoteNOonPAYGO -
Correction:
@AOC@RashidaTlaib@IlhanMN@RoKhanna@PramilaJayapal@RepBarbaraLee@RepRaulGrijalva are most definite “no” votes, would leave 11 more DEMs to join them for a victory. If anything will make me leave this party is if Pelosi kills progressive legislation with#PayGo. https://twitter.com/pattheberner/status/1080329278791634946 … -
Yesterday we started a convo w/ the rules pkg about ending
#PAYGO, a political policy lacking economic merit that sabotages progress where Americans value it most: healthcare, education, housing, & more. Today I’m proud to cosponsor legislation w/@RepJayapal to end it.https://twitter.com/gideonresnick/status/1081302743753650176 …

#PayGo in simple terms: Means the government must demonstrate that it will *subtract* a
from the economy for every
it intends to *add*.
Why on
would we want a rule to prohibit *net*
contributions to the economy?Show this thread -
In order for
#PayGo to go into effect, it needs to pass the House. If some 18 Dems vote no, it fails. The vote will take place on Thursday. Will enough progressives have the courage to vote no on the first roadblock to#MedicareForAll,#GreenNewDeal &#CollegeForAll? Let's see.https://twitter.com/ddayen/status/1080291053930856448 …

A good primer on

#PayGo is a disastrous policy for any major progressive policies. Retweet this post to spread awareness about this sneaky establishment trick to keep important legislation from passing. And tell your Congressman to vote NO on PAYGO. More on PayGo here: https://theintercept.com/2019/01/02/nancy-pelosi-pay-go-rule …pic.twitter.com/NjGtds9UtrPayGo Will Kill ALL Major Progressive Priorities -
Corporate dems are desperate to prevent a floor vote on Medicare for All.
#PAYGO is a Paul Ryan-esque austerity rule that would give them a procedural reason to avoid debating M4A. Tell your reps we're done listening to excuses. We want them to vote No on this rules package! https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1080492088356159489 … -
#PayGo single-handedly kills Medicare for All, College for All, and The Green New Deal, and is further evidence that Establishment Democrats don't care about progressive values.@cenkuygur live now on TYT.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJJfPQm_zr4 … -
If Democrats are serious about walking the walk on
#GreenNewDeal and Medicare for All, they will say NO to#PayGo.@AyannaPressley@RepJayapal@RashidaTlaib@katieporteroc@ilhanMN, looking at you badass, smart women to show leadership off the bat.

That is why we will be introducing legislation in the 116th Congress to end
#PAYGO. In the meantime,@RepMcGovern and House Leadership have committed to us that#PAYGO will not be an impediment to advancing key progressive priorities in the 116th Congress.Show this thread -
HUGE. It's right for all House members to fight to block
#PayGo -- unless they're working for Wall Street, billionaires and huge multinational corporations. https://twitter.com/RoKhanna/status/1080472399123042304 … -
I will be voting NO on the Rules package with
#PayGo. It is terrible economics. The austerians were wrong about the Great Recession and Great Depression. At some point, politicians need to learn from mistakes and read economic history.@paulkrugman@StephanieKelton@RBReichhttps://twitter.com/GunnelsWarren/status/1080318713331617792 … -
If you vote for
#PayGo you are economically illiterate, politically dense, or both. To all CA House#Democrats – don't you ever use#progressive to describe yourself if you vote for#PayGo (I'm looking directly at you @NancyPelosi).Show this thread -
Tomorrow I will also vote No on the rules package, which is trying to slip in
#PAYGO. PAYGO isn’t only bad economics, as@RoKhanna explains; it’s also a dark political maneuver designed to hamstring progress on healthcare+other leg. We shouldn’t hinder ourselves from the start.https://twitter.com/rokhanna/status/1080472399123042304 …
