https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1809953674564718708Yes Biden’s age is a serious issue and he should probably step down. No, that’s not the main issue & it’s not the central problem facing the Republic. It’s just the easy thing to talk about because the other thing is so awful.

https://twitter.com/drvolts/status/1809324556684787874I don’t think Biden can stem the damage at this point, & he should probably step aside for Harris. Again, we could’ve discussed that a year ago, except for The Narrative™️. But folks didn’t want to do that, so I’m having a hard time taking their Fierce Urgency seriously now.

https://twitter.com/gabelenz/status/1766463415059386848Prominent Dem Senators/governors could have challenged Biden, as McCarthy/RFK did in 1968 & TK did in 1980. They chose not to do so. Prominent GOPers did challenge Trump & got crushed. We should give voters credit for their choices & believe them when they tell us who they want.

https://twitter.com/jasonfurman/status/1669683338133622784Once again, the key takeaway here is that the story you were told for 2 years about 🇺🇸 fiscal policy being the main cause of inflation - & 🇪🇺 being supporting evidence - was a deeply parochial one that could have been avoided by tracking the freely available cross-national data.

https://twitter.com/jasonfurman/status/1666528690103111692Lots of folks seem to be arguing 2. I don't know anyone serious who's claiming 1 is "easy." And again, the asymmetry of the concern about getting quickly back to 2% starkly constrasts with the notable lack thereof during a decade of undershooting.

https://twitter.com/lhsummers/status/1666038482748203010Yes, we should have a serious convo about debt, deficits, taxes, & spending. But if the same dire predictions made with debt/GDP at 40%, 60%, & 80% keep not happening, & 🇺🇸/world interest rates keep doing 👇, we need a different frame for understanding actual fiscal constraints.

https://twitter.com/michaelxpettis/status/1650874293147041793We're in the midst of a National Conversation™️ about how the country issuing the global reserve currency is on the brink of a debt crisis (
https://twitter.com/mcopelov/status/1649524605177012225?s=20), & panicking about 🇨🇳 taking over the world, when its debt burdens are far less sustainable than ours. It vexes me.
https://twitter.com/nytopinion/status/1650349560781316098Would it be better if younger Dems were in charge? I don't really know. The best POTUS & Speaker in the last 50+ years are octogenarians. The young guy who gave great speeches had a lot of qualities but also presided over the party's nationwide decimation & a Lost Decade. YMMV.
