I read quite a few complaints last night about Lester Holtโs choice of debate topics. Liberals wanted to know why climate change didnโt come up. Conservatives thought there should have been a question about abortion.
Kevin DrumThe fallout from the Supreme Court halfway killing Obamacare would likely be more serious than conservatives believe...Even their own base, which has been told relentlessly that Obamacare represents the end of the America they love, might start to demand a fix once it becomes clear just what theyโre missing - and what all those blue states with their own exchanges are getting.
Kevin DrumI think liberals should accept that if we want big programs that significantly reduce inequality - and we should - it's going to require higher taxes on everyone. The rich can certainly do more, especially given their stupendous income increases since the Reagan era, but they can't do it all.
