I DIDN’T WATCH THE DEBATE, but Prof. Jacobson did. “Great line by Newt, Obama scares seniors every day. He made a strong substantive point, which is that why should we have to live in a system where a President can threaten to withhold social security benefits. It goes to the heart of individual autonomy.”

So did Ann Althouse. “A young guys asks a classic question: ‘Out of every dollar that I earn, how much do you think I deserve to keep?'” I’d like to hear someone ask Obama that question.

UPDATE: More from Ira Stoll.
