    My wife has been trying to manifest a Bruce Springsteen-Beyonce duet performance to introduce Harris for like two weeks.

    I took a look at his filings and believe it or not, he appears to be spending it.

    this is a good post, but I don't think the bolded line has to be true. There's a number of ways we could manage that, any number of which would be less complex and problematic than what we do now. No argument here. This was my primary argument on HF and Shaggy when we were stupidly financing tax cuts with debt in 2001 and 2003* to provide further short term stimulus even thought we were already in an expansion- that we were foreclosing our last, best chance reset the national debt, and ultimately reduce the tax burden on everyone. We may be fucked. We may run out of options other than minting the coin, as silly as that sounds. *of course we shouldn't have made them permanent either in 2012, but at that point we were just emerging from a giant financial crisis and didn't have dry powder, which is exactly why it's so goddamn stupid to initiate deficit funded fiscal stimulus in the middle of an expansion.

    It really wouldn't though. First of all, there's the issue of managing the rate of cuts to avoid the recessionary impact. Second, there's the simple fact that you could cut %100 of all discretionary spending and it wouldn't be enough to fund the federal deficit. Our issue is non-discretionary, ie legally mandatory spending - Social security, national defense, interest payments on the debt, medicare, and medicaid. More or less in that order. It's a solvable problem, but saying we could "just cut spending" is just as fantastical as "we should just tax wealth".

    Spending cuts would not make the tax code more equitable. It would merely reduce the subsidy paid to us by the unborn.

    I don't know if this is the place to discuss it, but the gymnastics involved in trying to alchemically convert asset ownership into income for the purpose of taxing the wealthy is a great example of why efforts to make the tax structure more equitable would be more straightforward and successful if we taxed consumption (ie spending) as it exceeded graduated thresholds rather than production. Wealth is not work. Wealth is the equity that accrues to someone or something as the surplus value of their labor and the labor of others. It is not income, but the result of income, and it is folly to treat it the same way.

    OK, all that would be fine if he were saving it for some late September/October push, but where on earth has he spent so much the money he's raised to this point? Do you see $30mm worth of campaigning somewhere?

    I love that clip. Hard to see in that cut but the horn section has a great reaction when HCJ jukes the audience onto 2&4.
