LA’s new westside subway is near miraculous–downtown during rush hour in less than 30 minutes. Took $10B and 65 years of planning and struggle. Crime will destroy it and politicians like Mayor Bass know this. It will be on them. https://t.co/mYRrmjkukP

Welfare reform in 1996? (More poor young men grow up in homes where some adult works.) The timing fits. Seems more plausible than a lot of these, including “Expansion of Community Violence Intervention.” https://t.co/H3NDIl4VJi

Most important: Does Talarico support ANY limit on the number of migrants who can come through his proposed “front door”? It seems no. Once they’ve passed his “orderly vetting process” they’re in for good. How many millions? https://t.co/uFBhDG03Hj

Remember the “pay back taxes” thing is largely a fraud too. There are insurmountable logistical problems with figuring out how much in taxes illegals should have paid, which is why the Obama-era Gang of 8 quickly gave up on that idea, settling for only those who who “already have a past-due bill with the Internal Revenue Service.” https://t.co/rBsIMQjZue Most obviously that leaves out “income taxes that weren’t paid or assessed because illegal immigrants were working off the books, or using fraudulent Social Security numbers.” https://t.co/XFE2Ee2Qy8

Jodie Allen was a hero of welfare reform in the Carter presidency–she and a merry band at the Labor Dept. pushed the case for work, not cash, fending off HHS Secretary Joe Califano, who was lobbying Carter for a guarantee income. Neither happened, but Allen & Co.’s efforts set the stage for Bill Clinton’s work-oriented reform two decades later. She was an inspiration and a lovely person.

In CA they called bills that were guaranteed to mobilize donors into giving pols money “juice bills.” AI regulation has to be the biggest “juice” issue in history. Since Congresspeople will always want money it’s guaranteed that AI regulation will be on the table in every Congress forever.
