    Message to House Dems: Do NOT vote for “PayGo” in the rules package. It’s a brainless Republican idea that tax cuts or mandatory spending increases must be offset by tax increases or mandatory spending cuts. Totally disables fiscal policy.https://theintercept.com/2019/01/02/nancy-pelosi-pay-go-rule/ …

        Are you kidding??? When you hurt main street America with austerity measures you cut off economic growth. PayGo is based on fallacies.https://www.commondreams.org/views/2012/12/31/top-12-political-fallacies-2012 …

        It’s pointless asking Pelosi since she’s the one who is trying to get it through. Who needs Republicans when we have Centrists?

        @NancyPelosi proving to be the corporate criminal many claimed her to be. She lacks, like most politicians, basic human empathy. Yet another greedy sociopath engaging in dystopian legislation.

        And it’s totally unilateral. Funnily enough, Republicans never feel bound to offset their cuts or spending. They freely balloon the US Deficit at will.

        Jude Wanniski Two Santa Strategy. 1st Santa=cut taxes and create huge deficits. 2nd Santa=rail against deficits when Dems are in power, forbid them from cutting military spending or raising taxes, then force them to shoot their Santa (social welfare programs).

        This is intentional. Can't serve two masters and as per usual corporate interests prevail over the constituency. The clamor for the progressive agenda is getting louder and the corporate Democratic wing feel their only out is to hogtie themselves.
