If Brexit was supported by liberals, then the one election that passed it would be final and decisive.

But since Brexit is opposed by liberals, no election is final, and they’ll keep trying to overturn it until they do.

It is astonishing in retrospect how few people argued strongly for more services rather than fewer people.

LOL! As if the foreign hordes become desirable neighbors simply because the citizens can get more free stuff.

Who should argue for “more services rather than fewer people”? Taxpayers whose income is already falling?

"As the historical record demonstrates plainly and repeatedly, too much market and too little state invites a backlash." What the hell does that mean? I f anything it should say this: "too little market and too much state invites a backlash." There is more gobbledegook than real substance in this article, but that is what passes as modern day scholarship from the elite know it alls.

While reading this I couldn't help but think of Clinton's proposed $300,000,000,000 "Greatest Jobs Program Since WWII"

AKA "Stimulus II"...and we all know how well Stimulus I worked out.

Liberals would not choose the fewer immigrant option because they want as many dependent people as possible voting for their agenda.

Reduce the number of 'capitas' by restricting immigration; or •Increase the supply of services. It is astonishing in retrospect how few people argued strongly for more services rather than fewer people.

I think the author is in denial of reality. Who would pay for more services? The immigrants they are importing are not qualified for high pay jobs, only menial labor, and they require high public welfare expenditures. All this would do is tax citizens more in order to pay for the welfare of unemployable immigrants, and the author thinks that is politically viable in the long run, given the gigantic numbers of immigrants going to Europe?

A wise educated person realizes the benefits of protectionism from protecting industries vital for national defense to raising non-income tax revenue. The benefits are numerous. A de-indistrialized USA is a weak USA.

Nationalism and globalism are two mutually exclusive philosophies. If you practice one then you cannot practice the other. You have to pick one.
