"Two Democratic aides that have spoken to Semafor say it is unlikely the party will act [to raise the debt ceiling] in the lame-duck." semafor.com/article/10/20/…
pathetic loser shit 
what gets me most about this coward whimpering is that the debt ceiling is so arcane and incomprehensible that axing it would be a one-day story at most
Anybody that tells you we can just open things back up and the economy will hum right back to life after a shock this big is lying to you, please for the sake of working people stop listening to them. (OpenTable restaurant dine-in visit traffic, YoY % change)
It's hard to imagine a worse policy course right now than "get America back to work". Thousands - possibly a lot more - will die needlessly, the recovery in output will not take care of itself, and the end of lockdowns will be used to argue against stimulus.
You have to be an absolute ghoul to both understand how massive demand shocks, services sector margins, and balance sheets work to want this outcome. Do not listen to anybody that argues for it, they're hurting people either intentionally or through lack of comprehension.

This is the kind of break-the-glass thinking we need to address the scale of the crisis. Hats off to @RashidaTlaib for thinking huge in terms of getting money into people's hands, and not listening to the "but how will we pay for it crowd. Let's #MTFC already.
@RashidaTlaib Thank you to @RashidaTlaib. First time I've smiled all week. Not even joking.
