Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

In after Baud. Damn.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Consistently wrong since 2002

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

The CBO officially sees Silver Loading

The Congressional Budget Office just released their updated budget baseline.  (Yeah, I’ll wait for everyone to stop partying)

Umm, hmmm… the most interesting thing to me is that the CBO is now officially counting Silver Loading of the Cost Sharing Reduction subsidies as part of the budget baseline.

 

CBO’s baseline now reflects silver loading. https://t.co/lV5uJTLR4L pic.twitter.com/PvyUdM9h2t

Now that Silver Loading is officially part of the baseline, it can be part of an explicit discussion of policy trade-offs. I don’t expect anything to happen this year for a dozen different reasons but this is a worthwhile thing to note.

    Do I understand correctly? I think that means “CSR is no longer something to be protected;CBO admits it’s lost and gone; so it’s no longer blackmail material, and it can now be used as a bribe?”

    (I was going to be more diplomatic re: ‘blackmail/bribe’, because politics is reported as too dirty sometimes – the old joke about sausage making still stands! But this is negotiations with the GOP, so blackmail, and bribe, are quite appropriate.)
