THE OPPOSE GROWTH BECAUSE IT BRINGS THE WOGS:
No-Growth Republicanism (WSJ, May 10, 2015).
In the waning days of the Obama Presidency the GOP's Buchanan wing is making a comeback, and in ways that are revealing about its ultimate agenda. The leader of this movement in Congress is Jeff Sessions, who has long railed against illegal immigration but since becoming chairman of the Senate's subcommittee on immigration has taken a more public stance against legal immigration.Now he's opposing the bipartisan effort to pass trade promotion authority and in the process showing that his objections aren't only about the law or immigrants. They're rooted in the same hostility to markets and globalization that animates the slow-growth Democratic left.
