Links 2018/11/11

"A Vermont gubernatorial candidate has proposed a nationally televised show in which a booing or cheering crowd would decide the fate of state prisoners." Link.

Polls show Americas as much more pro-diversity than Europeans. Link.

A libertarian economist's case for European health care. "American progressives do not favor anything even close to the European system"

In the recent elections, the majority of voters born in Texas chose Beto over Cruz. Link. This is certainly the opposite of how I would have guessed.

Despite a booming economy, we are now heading toward a $1 trillion deficit, due to tax cuts and increased spending by the Republican Congress/President. Link. Same thing happened the last time the GOP had all the power. At what point do Republicans have to stop pretending to care about the deficit?

Trump is talking about ending the 14th amendment with an executive order. Link. Surely all conservatives who claim strict adherence to the constitution, in the context of gun control, are similarly outraged by this? Or perhaps xenophobia trumps the constitution, as it does with opposition to tax increases?
