A Nation Can't Get Strong On Political

I Think Modern Societies Have To Ask A Very Basic Question: What Strategies Buy The Most Health For People? Doctors Can Do So Many Marvelous Things Now. They Can Keep A Corpse Alive, Almost.

The Biggest Challenge Of Public Policy Is To Know When And How The World Has Changed. We Are No Longer An Empty Continent With Endless Absorptive Capacity. We Have A Cash-wage Economy That Is Having Terrible Problems Finding Jobs For Its Own People. The Concern About Immigration Is Not Nativism But Common Sense.

I Had A Group Of Hispanic Americans Come Into My Office In 1976 Who Worked In A Denver Packing Plant. They Had Just Been Fired By Their Employer Who Turned Around And Hired Illegal Aliens For A Lot Less Money. That Had A Big Impact On Me.

We Have Been Maintaining A Standard Of Living By Putting Things On The Debt Of The Next Generation.

I Think That Retiring The Baby Boomers Is Going To Be One Of The Great Challenges In America, That You Cannot Make Fiscal Sense Out Of The Future Of Our Children Without Taking On Entitlements.
