[Market Ticker] "... You can look at this however you'd like, but there is an underlying and very-seriously negative problem in here that nobody wants to acknowledge: If we do not address not only the rate but the balance of who's having kids and what they're inculcating in those kids we're screwed, and we do not have years or decades to do it either. Simply put, only the productive children -- that is, those who grow up and then produce more than they consume can keep a society going. Some percentage of children are never going to be productive and for those who are unproductive simply due to bad luck it's not their fault nor that of their parents -- fortune just is that way, and a just society doesn't treat them like a deformed puppy and cull them." But you cannot make up for the lack of said productive children in your society by throwing open the borders and inviting "everyone" in. Those who come here with their first act as a criminal one are demonstrably unfit right up front to fit into a social order that has "law-abiding" as any part of its requirement. Oh sure, some will change their minds but their general mental position, which is "screw the law, I want mine" is not one you can permit on a mass-basis if you want to have a society at all. |

#9 Being the grey eminence behind the scenes Une éminence grise, or greasy eminence as the Frenchish people say. Some of us had the impression Barack was not much interested in working hard when he was the Prez first go-round. |

#6 I get the impression that he doesn’t want to work that hard anymore. Being the grey eminence behind the scenes — a word in this one’s ear or that one’s at a private gathering seems more his speed, and the presidency was only a step to this final, pleasurable status. |

#5 Don’t believe there is an amendment prohibiting him from being VP. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term. So technically there isn't, but I doubt the courts will allow this as if the president croaks the previous president that hit the term limit will be back in the seat. |

#4 12th amendment: But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States. Since Oblahblah already served two terms, he's maxed out and ineligible IIUC |

#3 I’ll leave it up the the Constitutional scholars here at the Burg to comment. How about scholars of Etruscan language? |

#2 All part of the plan. Bathhouse Barry’s 3rd term going better than planned. If Slow Joe can last until the convention, he will nominate Barry as his running mate. Joe then resigns leaving Barry in the left seat. Don’t believe there is an amendment prohibiting him from being VP. I’ll leave it up the the Constitutional scholars here at the Burg to comment. |

#1 It also doesn't make sense to warehouse millions at great expense who contribute nothing but remain a threat to social commerce and the productive members of society. It's only possible in a very rich society to fund this avoidance. |
