Debería ser la noticia de la semana, importantísima. Ahora el dilema Gruber, ¿se van a cobrar las cuotas seguridad social? No puedes dar el mismo servicio, cobrarles a unos, a otros no. El gran tema será cómo financiar.

Los Angeles residents were outraged after dozens of federal agents marched through MacArthur Park, in one of the city’s most immigrant-heavy neighborhoods. Homeland Security officials said it was an immigration enforcement operation, though it was unclear if anyone had been arrested. trib.al/JYW5IsU

En 2042 MEX no podrá financiar la atención a la salud al nivel -paupérrimo- de hoy. Para el 2010 estamos frítos. Urgen tres cosas:
1. Reformar la recaudación
2. Eficientar el gasto
3. Población saludable

You can think of the latest round of revisions in the IMF forecasts as an evaluation of who is likely to suffer most from the Trump tariffs. The biggest loser is Mexico, followed by the United States. China's economy will suffer, but not as much. And the rest of the world will suffer, too.

Si la idea es beneficiar a los trabajadores y sus familias, los aranceles no son la mejor solución. Disminuyen el bienestar general y dañan a los más pobres vía precios. Es mejor buscar impuestos progresisvos y una seguridad social bien diseñada. Ya es tiempo.

I've gotten two kinds of reactions to this post.

Libs: Is it really this bad?

People who've been around young rightists: My God, I've heard these exact speeches.

My sincere hope is that people who've fallen into this culture really rethink their lives.

This is bad.

To explain: I don't really care much about what happens to the market. (Well, my 401k cares, but still...) But it's what this signals that worries me: It suggests investors believe there are dark days ahead.
