CORRECTION: Make that $3.5 T … PS For $3.5 T I want universal, non-stratified health care. Not this grab-bag of public sector bloat. https://t.co/Ymdkg73rjy

Seems a huge mistake for House D mods to avoid substantive arguments and rely on Manchin & Sinema to make them. Weak reeds! Don’t mods have enough to sink the bill themselves? That’s leverage, no? Why not use it? https://t.co/oPltP9C26h

It seems more like a general bloat of existing programs, plus a re-creation of welfare, plus a big amnesty, plus a huge shift into home elder care (vs. institutional). … (Not saying there aren’t many good parts along with the bad) https://t.co/Ymdkg73rjy

WHADDYA WANT FOR $2.3 T?: Biden’s ‘New Deal’ “is not as much of a sea change as the creation of Medicare and Medicaid in the 1960s, or Social Security in the 1930s. Even the Affordable Care Act of 2010 created an entirely new government infrastructure.” https://t.co/MG7v6MliuT

Even if you support the terrible idea of “full refundability,” I don’t understand how the current reconciliation bill can prevent a future Congress from repealing it. How do you “make permanent” and “lock in” a law, blocking future democratic action (apart from the Constitution)? https://t.co/fS923osLuU

“No full refundability” would be a good slogan for those who want to expand the child tax credit without re-creating a welfare system and subsidizing a culture of non-work https://t.co/HKwun6LkWj

Parrott (foe of Clinton’s welfare reform who tried to undo it at least partially while in Obama’s HHS) wants “full refundability” to re-create welfare (cash for nonworking parents) directly.
It’s the key provision that should NOT be made permanent (or included in the first place) https://t.co/zFryRKaL23— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey)

Dem “lawmakers have acknowledged they may need to pare their ambitions or borrow more.”
Suspect they’ll take the “or borrow more” option.
That’s why paring back the tax hikes to starve the reconciliation beast seems unlikely to work.
