Excellent discussion, although it was a little difficult to hear some of the speakers.
If the right is putting together a “first hundred days” of legislative initiatives for 2017 there is one higher education item that would meld a sincere attempt to help and to reach out to millennials with a potent tool to defund the left — allow student loans to be discharged in bankruptcy after seven or ten years. I’d like to hear conservatives talk about this and not be toadies to the banks.
The audio was great at NRO–for the first 15 minutes. Then it went scratchy and finally it went down.
I noticed that the last live Ricochet broadcast was poorly broadcast.
Zzzzzzzzz….sorry guys. I feel like diminishing returns might be setting in with these think tank talkfest kinds of events. Citing poll numbers about how millennials like Uber so they must be latent conservatives does nothing to reduce the size and scope of government. (Also, I work with about 35 millennials. To a person, there is not a chance in hell that any of them would ever pull a lever for a Republican.)
