Obviously you'd want to take the opportunity to reform and streamline the program while you're at it (and probably limit it to multifamily rental housing), but a big LIHTC push would do a lot on affordability and job creation at the same time.

I disagree, this is pure slopulism. This is a technocratically bankrupt idea!

I'm going to kms

You could nearly triple the LIHTC for the cost of the mortgage interest deduction, I'd love to see a populist Democrat propose that.

BREAKING: Judge blocks Trump plan set to take effect Monday that would rapidly dismiss many/most? immigration appeals. Judge Randy Moss (Obama/DC) says DOJ has to complete notice-and-comment before such a change. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...

And like, if we're cutting those things IDK if raising the standard deduction is the best use of revenue.

Would be intrigued at how high you could push the standard deduction by just wholesale eliminating things like the mortgage interest deduction, but I doubt it's anywhere close to $75k.

Cory out here trying to bankrupt the Republic.

Relative to other rich countries, two things stand out about the US tax code:

1) we are a very low-tax nation
2) our system is very progressive

The problem with our system is not that we tax people too little. We need revenue to fund the things that make society less unfair.

I'd do it with a lime seltzer and a squeeze of lime juice.

Manischewitz Blackberry, gin, and seltzer goes extremely hard.

And like, it's one thing for AIPAC to be focused on Israel, but the URJ? It would be like the AME being intensely invested in Liberian sovereignty.

American Jewish institutions should represent the opinions and interests of American Jews—broadly complicated feelings about Israel but by no means the top priority for the vast majority of us—not the interests of a handful of brain-poisoned Boomer donors.

Would be great if we had Jewish communal institutions less slavishly loyal to an Israeli state that doesn't give a shit about them, but alas.

I don't think we are prepared for what is going to happen to the US public opinion of the state of Israel - and the spillover onto people's opinions of American Jews - if it comes to be widely believed that Israel started a war that led people to be unable to afford gas.

On one hand, no Roy Moore. On the other hand, an absolutely apocalyptic national mood.

Damn Bouie going insanely hard

Kansas yes, but Mississippi has a very high Dem floor, a chronic underperformer as Senator, and one of the strongest people on the bench as the Dem candidate.

"the bourgeois early modern world of guilds and masonic lodges and political movements and beer halls and salons inherited its structure from orders of knighthood, abbeys, and ruthlessly suppressed peasant movements." words uttered by the utterly insane.

And then the further left part of our intelligentsia decided that this was a good time to make it about the Clintons, who they hate worse than Trump for some reason.

The thought leaders of our high-info coalition shooting themselves in the foot really

"He did actually kill himself" wasn't far-fetched but "he was murdered by fellow pedophile Donald Trump, who was in charge of the prison" was also not far-fetched! And frankly ceding the conspiracy ground to the right was malpractice.

It's bad on a normal midterm year but has a whole bunch of reach states that sit right at the waterline of a wave year.

The way some people spent so much time scolding about this when "guy at the center of a pedophile network including the guy who runs the jail is murdered in jail" was a pretty parsimonious explanation for his death!

Yeah the AI tools can be very helpful in a fairly narrow range of applications under the supervision of a lawyer. Entirely different thing in nonlegal hands.

TBH pretty easy to see a timeline where this dude gets into politics en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3...
