    It's not fraud, it's just not a good idea to hike taxes on everyone to keep the current trajectory of entitlements going, which is what will have to be done to keep the current trajectory the CBO is looking at.

    The main thing I have to say to the young generation of Americans is that your grandparents and great-grandparents committed a kind of accounting fraud when they ran our country a century ago with social security, and at the time it was a reasonable affordance to grant our

    Gallup's June 2024 finding here combined with this April 2024 finding suggest at least a third of Americans are both fine with the white share of the US declining and will not tolerate a large increase in immigration to the US. Not very surprising to me tbh.

    77% of Americans say it either doesn't matter or it's a good thing that whites are becoming a minority, with only 22% saying it's a bad thing. Nativists claim to speak for the public, but they don’t.

    I don't think they'll like, nominate a Mamdani type in 2028 to be fair. If Trump succeeds in 2027 in the Middle East, the biggest domestic political winner would actually be the center-left of the Democratic party.
