Looks to me like the answer to the question ‘How can Democrats solve their working class problem’ is ‘moderate your position on immigration’–something that will apparently never happen. https://t.co/IoJtWdK0oX

“In our experiment, we did indeed find that social issues—specially immigration—had a larger impact on working-class voters’ candidate preferences than economic issues.” https://t.co/GkiRD53l9o

Question: If the Bidens were getting all this bribe money (“between $20 million and $30 million”) why aren’t they richer? Just a house in Rehobeth and a Corvette? Where did it all go? https://t.co/ptgS869Jl0

Much of our image of what America should be like comes from the pre-70’s economy, of course. But younger Americans never experienced it. That’s a factor underneath our current debates that surfaced at the v-useful AEI forum. https://t.co/eYvaaSwb8Q

Wages at the bottom (for non-high school grads, or those who didn’t go beyond high school) have been picking up a bit. But have they ever risen enough to make up for the China Shock years? According to this CRS chart,**no.

3) On income side-how to get families enough-we can debate whether “industrial policy” is a good idea. (Team AEI seems hostile; Team Cass not.) But it’s iffy even if you support giving it a try.

2) Cass says his (controversial) “Cost of Thriving” index has stabilized since 2015-16. Among reasons: Post-2016 years (one of Obama plus Trump) were very good for incomes, and Obamacare really did reduce rising health care costs. >>>

A few random points: 1) in terms of what’s affordable, Winship says we may need *more* “market fundamentalism” (Cass’ bugaboo) to bust supply constraints in housing, education, health care. >>>

The LAT stats refer to those who just show up at the border, apparently. The Biden administration’s main initiative is ushering unauthorized migrants into the US discreetly through the “CBP One” app and the dubious “parole” loophole. That’s at a rate of 850,000 a year *beyond*… https://t.co/AOopXbcu9f

LAT reports that under the new ‘third country’ rule “the number of single-adult migrants who are able to pass initial screenings at the border has dropped from 83% to 46%.” Story eventually notes these stats do NOT apply to migrants with children in tow. https://t.co/RX77FKLfH3

‘GET RFK’-MAYBE THERE REALLY WAS A MEMO: Now RFK Jr is “a threat to…our democracy” because he “could cut into the vote in 2024 for a responsible Democrat.” Huh? You could argue that if he were running as a 3d party. But he’s running in the Dem primary. (https://t.co/MIkbx6xbV2) https://t.co/WJHkUqcDdk
