Women do not have an assigned place. Women are various. One size does not fit all.

Linda Basch is certainly correct that the entry of so many women into the labour force has been good for the economy, good for society and good for women themselves (I would add that it has been good for men as well). But she is wrong when she implies that full-time mothers have made an unworthy choice.

Women do not have an assigned place. In free societies, they choose where they wish to be. For at least five millon women in America, that happens to be in the home as full-time mothers. What is wrong with that?

What we need to do now is to create more openings for high-skill immigrants while reducing the number of slots for extended family reunification for low-skill immigrants, and Congress (though no the Obama administration) seems to be taking some steps in that direction. The Economist, while not addressing low-skill immigration, seems to be taking a similar view.

At this event, Alan Viard will present the X tax proposal while James Mackie of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and Chris Edwards of the Cato Institute will offer commentary.

John R. Bolton responds to questions about Iran, Israel, the UN, and Barack Obama's foreign policy.
