Only U.S. conservatives can currently get away with saying "just don't retire yet because of the political party we oppose!" while pretending that cuts to entitlements aren't something being seriously considered by their own party. But I have 100% faith that the rest of the wealthy western world will catch up soon.

Modern monetary theory and federal debt aside:

Why we're not in a full-blown recession yet is beyond me.

btw, the need for cheap labor clashing with anti-all-immigration rhetoric is so hilarious to me. Sitting in the Diogenes Club, whispering "I say, old chaps, the racism's gotten a bit out of hand, no??"
