      @JoshuaGreen I think there's a strong case to be made that they're not fighting the good fight, that they've been instrumental...

      @TheStalwart Dont' disagree. What I'm objecting to is you presenting me as cheering them on, rather than describing their strategy, thoughts

      @JoshuaGreen Why do we need longterm entitlement reform? We still have elderly poverty and very very rich people paying minimal taxes.

          @JoshuaGreen that's fine, but what it's actually preserving is historically low tax rates and yawning inequality

          @JoshuaGreen Cutting entitlements longterm (it) reduces the need for revenue and keeps taxes low and inequality up

          @ryangrim Not the way I'd do it. Means test, redirect to pre-K, EITC, etc., and throw in some loophole closings, too.

          @JoshuaGreen what's the difference between means testing & raising taxes on the rich, other than one being a nightmare administratively?

          @ryangrim Why's it either/or? You could means test Medicare, close high-end loopholes and be doubly better off

          @JoshuaGreen You could, but you wouldn't be doubly better off, unless they figure out a way to means-test in a more cost effective way.
