Ponderable

Economics has a very strong Keynesian backing that teaches spending our way out of debt via monetary policies like QE. That's what AOC is bragging about. It's not weird at all. It just doesn't work in the long term.

The Economy Needs Less Government and More Freedom
I’ll close with two observations:

  • First, our main concern should be boosting the economy’s long-run growth rate, and that’s why we need lower tax rates, less government spending, open trade, and less red tape. As I’ve noted already, Trump has a mixed track record.
  • Second, a short-run concern is whether the Federal Reserve’s easy-money policy in recent years has created a bubble that is poised to burst. If it does, Trump will take the blame simply because he happens to be in the White House.

And that second issue gives me an excuse to re-emphasize that Keynesian monetary policy is just as foolish as Keynesian fiscal policy. You may enjoy a “sugar high” for a period of time, but eventually, there’s a painful reckoning.

P.S. For what it’s worth, we’d have more growth and stability if policymakers learned from the “Austrian School” of economics.

P.P.S. Moreover, it’s a good idea to be skeptical about the Federal Reserve.
 
Help! How to update the Statue of Liberty for the era of illegal immigration?
JULY 5, 2018
There are dozens of ways that would excite liberals ... come add yours.
In light of that, it is politically tone deaf to use the Statue of Liberty, the symbol of legal immigration, for this kind of protest, at least not unless the statue is updated. In true Hollywood fashion I think the Statue of Liberty should be "rebooted" to reflect the times:

1) It should be brown, not green. Liberals remind us constantly that illegal immigrants are mostly "brown," which is why we are supposedly opposed to them.

2) Lady Liberty should hold a voter registration card in one hand and an Obama-phone in the other. In many states like California, illegal aliens can be automatically registered to vote when they get their drivers' licenses, and there are many documented cases of illegals voting in elections, despite what liberals say. As for the Obama-phone, that can be a symbol for all the welfare benefits illegals can immediately reap upon arrival.

3) A backpack full of narcotics. Drug gangs which smuggle illegals into the country commonly use the illegals to ferry their narcotics. Two for the price of one, eh?

4) Plaque written in Spanish. The statue's plaque should be written in Spanish, our soon-to-be new national language. Did you catch the article in today's WaPo celebrating the fact that Spanish is the primary language in "all-American" McAllen, Texas?

5) Lady Liberty should be wearing a donkey pin, to symbolize all the voters the Democrats are importing.

6) Lady Liberty should be flanked by a dozen smaller statues, linked by chains, to reflect the wonders of chain migration.

7) The statue should be moved to the border with Mexico and the torch should be rigged to light up in the absence of border agents.

What other changes do you think should be made to the Statue of Liberty to make it more socially relevant for our time?

" . . . and the meek shall inherit the earth."

"Through this Golden Door, under the gaze of that Mother of Exiles, has come millions of men and women, who first stepped foot on American soil right there, on Ellis Island, so close to the Statue of Liberty.

These families came here to work. They came to build. Others came to America in different ways, from other lands, under different, and often harrowing conditions, but this place symbolizes what they all managed to build, no matter where they came from or how they came or how much they suffered.

They helped to build that magnificent city across the river. They spread across the land building other cities and towns and incredibly productive farms.

They came to make America work. They didn’t ask what this country could do for them but what they could do to make this, this refuge the greatest home of freedom in history.

They brought with them courage, ambition and the values of family, neighborhood, work, peace and freedom. We all came from different lands but we shared the same values, the same dream.

Today a President of the United States would have us believe that dream is over or at least in need of change."
