The pay-go rule makes it more difficult for Democrats to pass a host of liberal agenda items, while Republicans are free to blow big holes in the tax code.

The original New Deal under FDR would never have been able to happen had a PAY-GO rule been in place at the time and the Green New Deal (or ANY progressive agenda item) will not be able to happen if Nancy Pelosi’s Pay-Go rule gets implemented by Democrats in the House vote tomorrow. This is why it’s so hard for progressive ideas to happen especially when Democrats stupidly handcuff themselves by implementing such ideas.
