This seems right, though greater productivity and consistently higher growth would obviously make this more manageable, as would pushing retirement age to 70
Peter Thiel says the growing US budget deficit is going to push America to "socialist levels of taxation" or massive cuts to welfare:
"You have basically three choices":
1. Massively cut spending
2. Massively hike taxes
3. Keep kicking the can down the road
"For close to 20 years, the answer's been #3.
"Ever since the 2008 crisis, we've just been borrowing more and more money."
"My intuition is we're close to point where that ends, and then you're going to be pushed to a very non-centrist solution of either socialist levels of taxation or some really tough austerity measures."

My intervention today at the UN Security Council.
A prosperous future will not be secured by a global regulator. It will be secured by sovereign nations that adopt super intelligence, responsible companies that build it, and free people who refuse to be ruled by fear.

Many professors in the humanities keep calling it a packaging problem. Wrong. The real reasons enrollment is collapsing: obsession with identity, speech policing as virtue, and the conversion of entire disciplines into political projects.
Wow: Of 11-12,000 undergraduate degrees at UT, only 300 were in any humanities program. That includes History and English: thedailytexan.com/2026/09/22…

With these volumes, plus Wilfred McClay’s American history and all the accompanying pedagogical materials, Encounter Books has made a momentous contribution to cultural reconstruction. A civilization is only as strong as its belief in itself, & here is a much needed boost. Kudos.
The West is one unbroken conversation, from the agora of Athens to the workshops of Florence, about what is true, what is good, and how a people ought to live.
The Golden Thread Curriculum gives teachers and homeschooling parents what they need to help carry that conversation forward: lesson plans, primary sources, illustrations, and original maps that tell our story.
Built on the celebrated books by Allen C. Guelzo and @JamesWHankins1, from Golden Thread Academic and @Hillsdale.
Volume I, from Greece through the Renaissance, is available now, free of charge for educators and parents at goldenthreadcurriculum.com.

It was very cool to meet these crazy French guys working under desert sun to raise a monument to human technical powers —which their own country wouldn’t permit and no one else would fund — just as AI scrambles inherited understanding of those powers.

Thanks, Peter! This is the beginning of the end for destructive wildfires. In a country that loses ~$500B every year to wildfires, even tiny gains make for huge savings, to say nothing of the incalculable value of lives and homes.
Congrats to @PalmerLuckey and Anduril for winning the Wildfire XPRIZE - for detecting and suppressing a wildfire within 10 minutes of ignition!

BREAKING: California is handing out free smartphones, cash, housing, healthcare, college tuition, and car insurance to illegal aliens.
This shadow welfare system costs taxpayers more than $10 billion per year—and @christopherrufo, @kennethschrupp, & @austenhufford saw it for themselves.

This is madness
Exclusive: government officials told us how California illegal immigrant households can collect over $100K in tax-free cash and benefits
This is the lifestyle equivalent of a working Californian making ~$160K

If you are going to assault @ToryAnarchist's reputation, have the courage to name him. What you suggest isn't even true, as McCarthy did a debate for NR/ISI last year w/@michaelbd on Buckley with McCarthy arguing his was more libertarian than conservative. Encyclopedic knowledge.
The Claremont fellow who wrote this piece works for both @Heritage and @ISI, institutions that have jettisoned even *vaguely* libertarian economic views in favor of postliberalism.
He & his bosses adore postliberal @JDVance, who's mentioned in the lede and then never again. 🤡
