“We should combine price controls with new policies to encourage drug development.” First we end the mechanism the market uses to prod innovation (higher prices). But then we have “new policies” to make up for that & more! Why didn’t anyone think of this? https://t.co/OEnMQBCigl

“Fiscal impulse” seems to say if we spend a trillion in deficit spending in Year 1, spending another trillion in Year 2 won’t have a stimulative effect (because there’s no *increase* in stimulus). Spending only another $800M will be an actual “drag!” Is this true?

Maybe to have a chance at recalling a CA Dem, you need a 2-candidate attack: A strong conservative who turns out the base (which votes “yes” on recall) & a charismatic moderate to actually lead the replacement field (denying Dems a foil) https://t.co/iG4fRiJ5Ft

We’ll subsidize a culture of non-work — but, hey, we’ll make up for it later.

Seems a counsel of despair. Parties can and have radically changed just in past few decades. Why can’t centrists or populists hope to take over one of them? Hermit crabs take over hollow shells.
