I am a day late with this, but I read the WSJ in the evening now. There were 3 articles worth noting yesterday.
China-Japan tensions. WTF, are they still doing arguing over some rocks that have just sat in the water forever when economic cooperation will bring more prosperity to both countries? I know prospective energy underneath the rocks, but negotiation is the way to prosperity. A JV between CNOOC and Nippon Oil perhaps.
Islamic birth rates are falling That creates opportunities to change our approach to dealing with the angry youth that is open to jihadist thoughts. Of course, it would help if Islam clerics would respect other religions while they demand respect for Islam. But I love this quote from Gerald Seib; "Perhaps more sobering of all, what should the unrest of the past week tell us about what to expect if U.S. or Israeli planes strike at the Islamic Republic of Iran." I pity any pilots who are shot down.
States seek a middle ground on Medicaid. Many GOP governors want to keep Medicaid at current income levels but move those with income between 100% and 133% of the maximum Medicaid income onto the Health Insurance Exchanges that they are fighting the setup of. This will move the expense into the Federal Column permanently. My question is why don't they just come out in favor of Medicare for all, that is where they are pushing this whether they want to admit it or not. And I would be in favor of that.
