OUR PROBLEM IS IMMIGRATION, WHICH IS THE BASIC CAUSE OF SOCIAL SECURITY SHORTFALL. America has to supply jobs to support a net 1.25 million new immigrants every year. America also has to provide jobs to support the 306 million people already here, including their ever fewer children yearly who enter the work force. It cannot do that under present governmental policies. America is losing jobs at a rate above the rate of immigration-demanded jobs. There is no way average 87 IQ immigrants can earn what 100 IQ Americans earn. The jobs lost by Americans are higher paying jobs. Those gained by immigrants are, on average, lower paying, with lower payroll taxes. This contributes to a Social Security shortfall. Government immigration...

Wow! At long last a voice pointing out the ability of Congress, by following the Constitution, to stop the Supreme Court’s destructive abrogation and usurpation of the Constitution. Of course, the Congress is the real champ in unconstitutional destruction of the general welfare, the most damaging being the FDA’s preclusion of approval of non-patentable treatments for disease. This results in the failure to cure any of or chronic diseases and the exponential rise of costs we are now experiencing. The purpose is to prevent competition with patentable treatments. Both the FDA’s suppression of non-patentable treatments and Obmacare raise healthcare costs and reduced efficacy and benefits for all. Supreme Court decisions have cost...

No Mr. Kudlow. What you recommend is all well and good. But the biggest bang for the buck is achieved by congress ending all immigration, emptying sanctuary areas by enforcing the immigration laws on pain of withdrawal of federal benefits, defunding the DOJ and government enforcement until employers of illegal immigrants are jailed, fined, and virtually vanish, and ending anchor babies so that the original intent of congress is effected. We cannot go on having to supply jobs for a net 1.25 million immigrant people every year, the great majority of whom are: (1) not bright enough to serve in our military, (2) cannot graduate high school, (3) are functionally illiterate, (4) don’t earn enough to pay for their education, healthcare,...

The question is why the left wants as many illegal immigrants here as possible. There are many very good reasons. First, sanctuary areas concentrate both legal and illegal immigrants by rewarding the with freedom from prosecution and lots of government freebies, allowing the census to provide a means for the Democrats to steal House seats away from Republican areas every ten years. Second, the presence of immigrants provides rental and thus mortgage interest income for the banks. Net immigration has bee running about 1.25 million yearly, greatly increasing bank income. Sending immigrants home empties houses and apartments and decreases bank income. The solution is to end all immigration and only gradually increase enforcement of...

Obama lawyers have concluded that they cannot win on the commerce clause and are therefore gambling that they can get the Court to deliberately misinterpret the Constitution. Article I, Section 8, gives Congress the power to lay and collect taxes to provide for the general welfare of the United States. But the healthcare bill degrades the general welfare of the great majority by increasing their costs and decreasing their benefits. It is therefore beyond the powers of Congress and unconstitutional. Since the healthcare bill is by its terms not severable, a finding of unconstitutionality of part of the bill renders the entire bill unconstitutional. The Obama lawyers need to read Cardozo’s 1937 opinion finding the taxes for...

The Fifth Amendment says “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof….” When Congress uses its taxing and spending power in support of universities to enable those universities to prohibit Christian organizations that exclude homosexuals from membership, is it not prohibiting the free exercise of religion.

While the EPA threat is a major problem, there are others even bigger.

Given 10% to 17% unemployment, how can American jobs, incomes, technical degrees, tax revenues, and wealth be anything but depressed by continued import of cheap semi-skilled and technical workers.

Given the poor quality of too many teachers, how can the quality of our students be anything but depressed.

Given that on death the estate tax always shrinks, rather than growing exponentially, the number paying the highest income taxes; and that at any time, never before taxed assets may permanently escape taxation by transfer to the private fiefdoms of foundations, endowments, and charities, how can new business and job creation, GDP, incomes,...

Obama will veto any legislation counteracting his EPA edicts. It will hold, since it takes 2/3 of booth houses to overcome a veto. He has just until 2013 to put his economy and freedom depressing agenda into effect, as rising losses of congressional Democrats strongly suggest he will have no second term.

Meantime, Obama will use his edicts and veto power to shrink jobs, incomes, GDP, wealth creation, and tax revenues, while expanding inflation and government spending and control of the economy.

While the Democrats are likely to be banished to the wilderness for perhaps a decade, many Republicans will try to more subtly enact their progressive agenda. Absent dedicated and bold opposition from the conservatives, the...
