Wait. Didn’t Pelosi promise to pre-conference the reconciliation bill with the Senate? Is she really going to get Manchin & Sinema and the other 48 to sign off on something by next week? https://t.co/vTyTVNKncQ https://t.co/vzs7wlv4fP

The Senate-passed bill is a real bill. Vote for it and it’s law (once Biden signs)**
The reconciliation bill is … what? Not final bill. Has to repass House later? Cleared with Manchin/Sinema? Schrodinger’s bill.

The real “Puppeteer” theory is figuring out who pushes Biden farther to the left (eg on the border) than you’d think he’d go. It’s a live mystery because we know so little about how his WH works (after seemingly knowing everything about Trump’s) https://t.co/ATCb5DD3bH

Here’s the @paulkrugman post that cites the paper (from CBPP) https://t.co/5nkxQe3N9J If like CBPP you don’t think “marginal tax rates” are important then you’ve ABANDONED the major defense of Biden’s CTC re work (that it won’t discourage work because, hey, no marginal tax!) https://t.co/lJygRKsvxf

This paper-cited by Krugman for idea that the “problem of work incentives is greatly exaggerated”-undermines his pitch. He says new CTC dole won’t hurt work of poor because poor get to keep the $$ if work. Paper says such “marginal tax rates” don’t matter. https://t.co/B1tez6U0Zs

That’s silly–you don’t need to ‘add” an “onerous” work requirement to the CTC to avoid sending big checks to non-workers. You really just have to keep the requirement that was there before ARP’s 1-year change–ie you have to have earned about $2500 in income. https://t.co/x1Brpux2jL

Scenario seemed plausible until I hit the phrase “When reconciliation is done in the Senate …” That’s not a “small delay” in the vote on the bipartisan ‘hard’ infra bill, no? Sounds like a big delay–ie pretty much what ‘progressives’ want. https://t.co/v3OrB6u213
