Debt Commission to the Rescue? | Romina Boccia & Richard Hanania
Romina Boccia is the director of budget and entitlement policy at the Cato Institute, where she writes about government spending, the debt problem, and entitlement reform. She also has a Substack called the Debt Dispatch that you can subscribe to here.
debtdispatch.substack.com
Romina joins the podcast to discuss available paths to deal with the coming entitlement crisis. One potential way to get politicians out of making tough choices is to create a debt commission that takes responsibility for unpopular reforms. Romina has written about using the model of the BRAC commission, which was relied on to close down military bases at the end of the Cold War.
The conversation also touches on the politics of debt, how policymakers are thinking about these issues, Paul Ryan as an unappreciated hero of our time, and much more. Near the end, Romina reflects on her career as a DC policy-wonk, and why she is motivated to help ensure that America continues to be the land of opportunity. If we don’t get entitlements under control, it could potentially degrade our entire way of life.

Honestly at this point I'm convinced that FDR just was a communist (or became one during his reign), but he knew it was political su*cide to be open about it

On Musk Saudi Royals comparison . Right wingers are more concerned about Hilary Clinton than the president of Venezuella or China, Mao thingy thingy..... Of course people care more about things in their country/culture. If you actually ask them which is worse of course they say the actual bad guy. The truth is that reasonable, informed people who disagree with Brian like markets they just don't like them as much as he does and have other reasonable concerns. Maybe right, maybe wrong but with in the bounds of reasonable disagreement. But no, I, Brian am the One and the Only Man of Objectivty and Truth
Left wing people who like markets - Chris Dillow - Stumbling and Mumbling; Paul Krugman; Simon Wren-Lewis - Mainly Macro.
Very good discussion..
Terrible interviewing

Glad someone with so much energy and positivity is working hard on alignment. It's much easier to complain than to propose solutions. I prefer talking about solutions.
Dude looks evil
I wasn't expecting Hanania to be so obtuse about the effects of mass immigration. The rare jewel of Western liberal democracy deserves better than "maybe it's gone."
No, it doesn’t. Western liberal democracy deserves the fruit of its labors. It wanted everyone to be equal and universal and it got its wish. If this was isolated, I’d believe it could be reformed, but it’s not.
Physiognomy says everything.
So much fucking misinformation (not politically motivated post) in this. I don’t know how Steve doesn’t know how to do basic IQ research. There has been shown time and time again to be a peak in IQ/“success” correlation around 2 SD above the mean (IQ 130). Lookup the communication gap. With Steve’s extremely sloppy reasoning and lack of basic fact checking, I’d be willing to bet he’s sub 140 (and that’s being optimistic/generous). And Bezos exactly fits predictive models. He’s probably in the 140s range but has other traits that set him apart in a positive sense. The one thing he got right was that a lot of big moves/advances are probably made by 160+, but tests break down after the 140 range due to several factors. Further, this implies in no way a linear correlation. Success correelates generally up to 130 and then goes downhill before a small peak around 160/170. The key point he’s missing is all the genius that falls through the cracks (most of it). He’s only seeing/talking about the survivors, or most self realized. It’s like the “bulletholes in the plane” fallacy.
I completely understand her. The affirmative action students are JOKES. And the professor can't even "fail" them the courses without raising eyebrows with the deans.
Apropos Soviet subversion and propaganda, many of the crimes of the "nazis" were just that. Just like they tried to blame the "nazis" for the Katyn Massacre. That's what "The Liberators" (also a title of one of Viktor Suvorov's books) do - the lie.
There wouldn't be any WWII style beach landings, or any landings. It will be brand new style of war, if Chinese any smarter as Israelis. Chinese should use their IQ advantage, Imagination and think OUTSIDE the box type of war. .

Super interesting, thanks so much!
I am guessing you don't read any of the comments on these videos Richard, and that is very wise if true, but just in case you don't, I think at least a handful of your poignant push backs were very perceptive. It made me think you should consider reading a book that came out last year called The Myth of Left and Right. Some of what you said was consistent with its thesis.

I am nearly old enough to collect Social Security. I never ever wanted to pay into the that ponzi scheme but was forced to do it by the gun of the government. It this point it is too late for me to work any more, so they better not be talking about cutting old people's benefits. I paid into that fund under duress my whole career and now they owe me and all the others like me. I would have been perfectly fine not taking SS if they would have let me opt out. But they didn't. Any attempts to cut benefits are going to be met with strong resistance from all those who have paid into this piece of crap system that they mandated. People like me could have done much better investing all the money that we were required to pay into the system on our own.
"do shows need one main character? i think they do" well that's just silly lol. some of the best shows have been ensemble shows where there is absolutely no single main character and everyone gets their time in the spotlight. also, the main character of Deadwood is the town of Deadwood.
