Catching on.

Slowly but surely, they're wising up and climbing on board...

Young people should push, at the margin, for any cuts in Social Security/Medicare spending to be implemented sooner rather than later. Proposals to let everyone born before 1955 evade any cuts forever are unreasonably punitive to the youngest generation and yet are universal dogma in DC. Complain about this!

or not:

Last (which I didn’t say) the future will almost certainly be better than the past. The main risks to this outcome are in the foreign policy and ecological domains. So don’t sweat the fiscal policy too much.

It’s absurd to be spending large and growing sums of money preventing people from moving here while simultaneously facing a Social Security shortfall driven primarily by unexpectedly slow population growth.

Actually, it's all in the quality and needs of those who are permitted or prevented from moving here. Right now, in this wink-wink illegal system, we're primarily getting underskilled and undereducated Central and South Americaners, who immediately start having "anchor babies" that need the guaranteed healthcare and English educations.

That's why, it's better to regulate immigration and enforce the laws on the books than arbitrarily to enforce (read today's amnesty news?) to have the "whoever-makes-it-in-physically is in" non-system we have now, that creates two more classes of Americans: the ones who are actual American citizens with the accompanying Constitutional rights, and those working without and bringing down American standards across the board. Also shores up a healthy respect for the system of law from the newcomers if we actually, you know, enforce what we've got on the books.

These days though, I guess you need to pander to all the potential voters you can, citizens or not.

Bowing to pressure from immigrant rights activists, the Obama administration said Thursday that it will halt deportation proceedings on a case-by-case basis against illegal immigrants who meet certain criteria, such as attending school, having family in the military or having primary responsible for other family members’ care.

The move marks a major step for President Obama, who for months has said he does not have broad categorical authority to halt deportations and said he must follow the laws as Congress has written them.
