Ted Cruz and 20 Senators are asking for another tax cut, this time by executive order.

Quote:

In a letter sent to Steve Mnuchin on Monday, the senator from Texas urged the Treasury Secretary to use his “authority” to index capital gains to inflation, a move that would almost exclusively benefit the mega-rich. Claiming, falsely, that the United States economy “has experienced historic levels of growth as a result of Congress and the current administration’s policies such as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” Cruz insists that it is now crucial for the Treasury Department to adjust capital gains for inflation “so that everyday Americans can continue to enjoy better lives and livelihoods.” And by “everyday Americans,” he of course means (but doesn’t say) the spectacularly wealthy.

Except Warren.

Tapper asked the candidates if they supported raising taxes on the middle class to pay for Medicare for All.

Quote:

“What I’m talking about it and others up here are talking about is no deductibles and no copayments, and Jake, your question is a Republican talking point,” Sanders said. “And by the way, the health care industry will be advertising tonight on this program.”

Don't be such a pussy, Sanders.

Does anyone have video of the full debate?ABC and CNN's livestream cut out the debate and only includes the pre and post analysis bull**** that I'm not interested in and I can't find it anywhere else.

Watched the first half at least. Hickenlooper, Ryan, Bullock, and Delaney are basically just Marco Rubio clones with blue ties. Buttegieg is the cross-appeal candidate that they dream of being. I think that him sharing the ticket as president or VP with Sanders, Harris, or Warren would be a big win.

Additional thoughts: The Kombucha lady was saying agreeable stuff but had no bite unfortunately. Seems like Beto shot himself in the face every chance he got and Williamson was unfortunately not nearly as funny as last time.
