Because *rescheduling* the destruction of America should be something on the table.
“America is going to be destroyed by Obamacare, so whatever deal is put together must at least reschedule the implementation of Obamacare”
@AshokRao95 @dylanmatt how so? Big fan of Chetty but little in there that makes case inequality is important.

RT @USATOpinion: Less income equality doesn't mean that some are worse off than they were before. Today's #opposingview: http://t.co/hDEtPunkLW
RT @dylanmatt: Would love to read a careful lefty response to @swinshi here: http://t.co/C5pik7u4BO @econjared @rortybomb
@travton thanks!
@HCorderoGuzman on normative grounds helping poor>helping mc>helping rich. Empirically, existing research usually isn’t helpful for deciding
@travton @veroderugy just say weak args are weak and policy shouldn’t be driven by them
@travton @veroderugy but can pick other decades to make opp case (1950s & 1960s, 1980s). Point is to not counter weak args w weak args (1/2)
In other words, I’m NOT arguing that inequality and growth go hand in hand. I’m saying no evidence that they’re negatively related.
Saying no good evidence for A is different than saying strong evidence for B. But it’s nearly impossible to avoid being accused of latter.
A better title for my USA Today piece would’ve been “Inequality and Lower Growth Do Not Go Hand in Hand.”
RT @TonyFratto: What we should be doing is educating Americans about the stupidity of the debt ceiling so Congress could abolish it.
But to be clear—not my title. Ineq & growth positively correlated in research as often negatively correlated. Evidence not strong either way
“@Economics21: .@swinshi argues that #IncomeInequality and Growth go hand in hand http://t.co/YFqfq2fXX1”
@RichardvReeves another dilemma (4 me): inherited advantage no more fault of kid than inherited disadv; redistrib ex-post @ least bit unfair
@RichardvReeves that’s the rub, right? Effort levels—preferences even!—derive from circumstances. And preferences aren’t even quantitative.

@davidmwessel so true. So true.
