CUOMO OWNS NYC, HOW TO BRING BACK STRUGGLING CITIES & WHY NO RECESSION IS IN SIGHT

How to Bring Back Struggling Cities
Aaron Renn, CityLab

In 2014, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced plans to build a $15 million film studio near upstate Syracuse, promising 350 high tech jobs. It was one of his many plans to revive the economies of upstate communities with state tax dollars. The facility, in an implausible location for filmmaking, was a flop that attracted little activity, and it was handed off to local government last year for the sum of $1. Read more here....

President Trump and the Crisis of Separated Powers
Editorial of The New York Sun | April 18, 2019
https://www.nysun.com/editorials/trump-and-the-crisis-of-separated-powers/90653/

The denouement of the Special Counsel investigation -- unfolding on the Imax of the Internet -- illuminates nothing so much as the fact that our republic is in a crisis of separated powers. It shows that a special counsel can come close to destroying a presidency even in cases where, as now seems clear in respect of President Trump, there was neither collusion with a foreign power nor obstruction of justice.

PENSION SPENDTHRIFT STATES: BLUE STATES GOING UNDER, HOOVER INSTITUTION LOOKS AT IMMIGRATION REFORM & CITY JOURNAL LOOKS AT CONSERVATIVE POPULISM

Overspent Some states consistently live beyond their means.

PETER BERKOWITZ
Conservatism and the People
From Burke to Buckley to Trump, the Right has always had a populist current.

Foundations Of Immigration Reform
by Edward Paul Lazear via PolicyEdAmerica’s immigration system needs to be reformed in order to handle modern challenges of immigration. Long lines to get in exist alongside millions of undocumented immigrants already in the country. To deal with both of these problems, Congress should rebalance our system to encourage more work-based visas for those wanting to work in the US, and it should bring illegal immigrants back into the system through a special visa that puts them at the back of the line for permanent residency.

Which Adds More To The Deficit? Defense Spending Or Social Security & Medicare?
via Budget Matters via America Off BalanceDeficits are projected to permanently top one trillion dollars by 2021. And while the drivers of long-term spending growth come overwhelmingly from Medicare, Social Security, and net interest on the debt, a common claim is that defense spending is a bigger fiscal problem than entitlements because defense doesn’t have any dedicated revenue that helps offset its cost.

The Risky Business Of Public Pensions
by Joshua D. Rauh via PolicyEdState and local governments all around the country have failed to set aside enough money to pay for the pensions they have promised to workers in the public sector. They’re also making unrealistic assumptions about their future investment returns, further risking their budgets and the ability to pay for promised pension benefits. Confronting the true cost of future pension payments would force state and local governments to save more now and prevent budget problems in the future.

Debts No Honest State Can Pay
Steven Malanga, City Journal
State and local governments have piled up trillions of dollars in retirement debt for pension and health-care promises that they’ve never bothered to fund adequately. Yet, even as they strain to pay these obligations, some keep handing out other expensive perks, rarely bestowed in the private sector. The most striking example: governments are accumulating billions of dollars in future debt by letting employees store up unused sick days and vacation days, which they can then “cash out” when they retire.

Trump Signals a Great Debate on Socialism
Editorial of The New York Sun | March 4, 2019
https://www.nysun.com/editorials/trump-or-the-road-to-serfdom/90595/
Not since Lincoln and Douglas can we remember a call to a national election debate like that which President Trump has been sounding in respect of socialism. He laid this marker in his State of the Union speech, vowing that America would never be a socialist country. He picked up the theme in his speech at CPAC, offering a taste of how the issue will sound in the campaign now gathering.
