Has Biden’s CEA conceded the wage issue to “critics of [immigrant] legalization”? (CEA says in the “longer run” the wage-lowering effect will be “very small.” Well all right then!) https://t.co/xQxJAPs0O3 via @AlanTonelson

Also suggests (a fortiori, as the lawyers say) that if the *do* get their bipartisan hard infrastructure bill they’re unlikely to support the progressive’s big, partisan $3.5T bill, no? https://t.co/qY7RNiTAzy

We’ll subsidize a culture of non-work — but, hey, we’ll make up for it later.
We’ll let in millions (it really is millions) of unauthorized immigrants who’ll inevitably bid down wages at the bottom — but, hey, we’ll make up for it later.

Seems a counsel of despair. Parties can and have radically changed just in past few decades. Why can’t centrists or populists hope to take over one of them? Hermit crabs take over hollow shells. The most hollowed-out shell at moment would seem to be the McCarthy/McConnell GOP. https://t.co/hH24s989Ra

GOOD SIGN: Looks like they’re worried that “refundability” of the tax credit–the provision that sends checks to non-workers & turns the program into welfare–might be dropped by Congress after Manchin & McCarthy make it an issue. Must poll badly-or McCarthy wouldn’t bring it up. https://t.co/zuLWLEVVHQ

Re Milley: Who was the “old friend” who had such influence over him (putting him on edge on Nov. 10 — months before the 1/6 riot — about Trump attempting to “overturn the government”)?
