Eventually the push for zero-sum, "tear it all down" politics on all sides will pass. Smart, constructive folks on the center-left and center-right are already charting a path for what the future of liberalism may offer to Americans.

It's usually some variant of "once I account for all of my savings, I live paycheck to paycheck!"

So interesting how these folks can’t handle democracy when it doesn’t go their way. The people who voted for @JoeBiden have agency and rejected your preferred candidate.

*New* @TaxFoundation preliminary estimates of @Jim_Jordan's proposal to raise the SALT deduction cap from $10,000 to $20,000 (and to $40,000 for joint filers). This proposal would cost about $54 billion through 2025 and mostly help those earning over $100,000 annually.

In 1971, the high water mark for working-class wages, manufacturing was 25% of the U.S. GDP. Today it's 10%. Everything Trump is doing with tariffs and immigration controls is to give the American worker a shot at the American Dream again after half a century of
