POLITICO ILLINOIS
— U.S. Rep. Sean Casten has high praise for fellow freshman Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal resolution. – Shia Kapos (DIERSEN: Which
Republican candidate is going to run against and defeat Casten? What are the
following doing to get the best possible Republican candidate to run against
and defeat Casten: Peter Roskam, Illinois Republican Party (IRP) National
Committeeman and Committeewoman, IRP officers, 6th Congressional District IRP
State Central Committee member, and 6th Congressional District Republican
county and township organization officers?)
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2019/04/18/casten-on-aocs-green-deal-preckwinkle-reflects-population-dropping-again-426113
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Casten, who campaigned on a “fix climate change” platform, just wishes it
wasn’t sucking the air out of all the other green legislation. “The Green New
Deal has made it very hard to advance a different idea about how to move
forward [on climate change] without being seen as antagonistic,” Casten said
during an interview with POLITICO. Casten has bills in various forms on issues
he cares about, and he’s been asked by other lawmakers to join on their
climate-focused bills, too. But they’re all effectively on hold, he says, while
Ocasio-Cortez’s plan gets the headlines. The Green New Deal calls for the
nation to reduce its fossil fuel use to zero within 10 years. Casten is back in
Illinois this week after his first three months in Congress. We met over coffee
at Starbucks in Carpentersville. Here are seven takeaways from the interview:
On what works/doesn’t work in AOC’s resolution: “I agree with the urgency of
it. That part is awesome. It’s just more idealistic than practical. To do
climate policy right, you have to understand how our current energy structure
works.” Casten points to questions about whether fertilizer can be made without
natural gas or if aviation fuels can replace existing high-energy, low-density
petroleum-based fuels. They’re both areas that are difficult to de-carbonize
based on current technologies. His Capitol Hill mentors: U.S. Rep. Bill Foster,
who serves Illinois’ 11th District. The two representatives share a passion for
science and business. Also New Hampshire Rep. Annie Kuster and Maryland Rep.
Jamie Raskin. “Every time I talk to [Raskin] I realize he’s super smart and I
leave thinking I’m super smart,” says Casten.)

DAILY SIGNAL
— The Natural Limits of Identity Politics – Victor Davis Hanson (DIERSEN:
Question: When will illegal immigration to America end? ANSWER: When Spanish is
America’s official language. When everyone in America speaks, reads, and writes
Spanish. When America looks like Mexico. When there are few, if any Whites left
in America. When Mexico and the other Spanish-speaking countries officially
declare victory over America.)
https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/04/18/the-natural-limits-of-identity-politics/
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Economist Herbert Stein’s old adage—“If something cannot go on forever, it will
stop”—still holds. Take illegal immigration. There are currently somewhere from
11 million to 15 million immigrants living in the United States without legal
authorization. Last month, nearly 100,000 people were apprehended or turned
away while trying to illegally cross the southern border. Some experts suggest
that at least that number made it across without arrest. At that rate, the
United States would be gaining a fairly large city of undocumented arrivals
each month. Most of the people who enter the United States illegally arrive
without fluency in English, a high school diploma, competitive job skills, or
money. The majority will require support subsidies, and collectively they will
require increased legal and law enforcement investments. At some point, American
social services will be so taxed that the system will be rendered
dysfunctional—as is already occurring in areas of the American Southwest. Or,
some regions of America will so resemble the countries illegal immigrants
abandoned that there will be little point in heading north. Either way, the
current border chaos will find its own self-correcting mechanisms, even if that
means there will be no border at all—or northern Mexico and the southern United
States will become indistinguishable. Currently, the national debt is $22
trillion and growing at a rate of nearly $1 trillion a year due to staggering
annual budget deficits. The George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations
roughly doubled the debt they inherited, and the Donald Trump administration may
be on schedule to do the same. More importantly, the national debt is now over
100% of the gross domestic product. Presidents and Congress like to spend and
to spread money to voters. They fear politically suicidal recessions if they
cut back. But over the last 20 years, the government has mostly exhausted
traditional economic stimuli such as larger budget deficits, near-zero real
interest rates, and expansion of the money supply.)
