Lol, k.

Come on. You seem like a pretty smart guy and obviously are Dem but you can’t honestly be that willfully ignorant. I don’t see how there is any defense of that decision. Literally the only explanation was that it was for her own political parties self interests. Economically, it made no sense.

You wasted an opportunity to say “I know you’re a sophisticated guy”

It's not hard...we have control over refinance terms on short dated debt, brother! HIgher financing and rigid debt loads carry significantly more risk than rollover incidence. It's not political and it isn't willful ignorance...it's just risk aversion. That's why both Republicans and Democrats use near short dated debt...and they are good at basic arithmetic on rates vs inflation expectations...and know they can't predict the future!

Of course short dated debt carries less risk - duration. But when the only place for interest rates to go is up, especially when money printer is going full brrr, why would you not lock in your debt obligations for an extended period?

I’m not going to purchase a home and try to pay it off over 2-years just bc I can get 0% interest. When I can do almost the same thing over 30 years and not have to worry about getting a new loan at what’re almost guaranteed higher rates after that 2 years bc I couldn’t pay off the house.

Would’ve preferred it didn’t happen in the first place, duh. This version of cope is great.

Wait, which one is supposed to be 'the alternative' here - tax on, or tax off? He flip flops so much it's impossible to tell at this point! 🤣
