Heart me some Steyn but.....

This flaming biatchh of an 'election' is not over yet.

The red necks are coughing up a few nasty hairballs about this whole election fraud thingee.

It appears as though the rain on my leg may, in fact, prove to be urine.

I love Steyn, but the simple fact is that 95% of the electorate does not understand the math and economics to comprehend what he is saying here. Schools haven't been teaching economics for years. Yes, it is similar to Greece - the people rebelled because they didn't understand the issues.

Until schools think that basic economics is more important than second-year algebra, we are doomed.

Fine, raise taxes on the `rich`, but only for two years. Have them expire on 11/4/14, one day before the mid-term elections.

I think the underlying problem is political correctness. It's almost impossible to reduce spending that affects any 'protected Democrat demographic group'. And most of them could not care less about the approaching debacle (until it's too late).

In addition to "free stuff", the majority of Americans also want freedom. Republicans need to start appealing to the "freedom" component. That means freedom to smoke whatever you want, marry whoever you want, and not be under surveillance from Homeland Security, or be felt up at airports by the TSA. In other words, the GOP has to either drop the social conservative filter or jump on the express bus to socialist serfdom.

I'm with #1.

Huge pol lines, but FEC says low turnout.

Yup, it's raining here on my leg too, but feels warm and smells like ammonia.

How did this adorable, fuzzy-faced, rapier-witted kid get so smart so young? From musical theater to pop culture to history to politics, his vast knowledge and ability to both entertain and educate amazes me daily. He never disappoints.
For those seeking a change of pace from the 'grey morning after' and to see a different side of Steyn, pick up a copy of "When Broadway Babies Say Goodnight" for a delightful read.
And, yes, real men DO like musicals!!

Wow! We are so... doomed.
FTA:
In the course of his first term, Obama increased the federal debt by just shy of $6 trillion and in return grew the economy by $905 billion. So, as Lance Roberts at Street Talk Live pointed out, in order to generate every dollar of economic growth the United States had to borrow about five dollars and 60 cents.

I don't see a way out of this financial mess, and I have no faith that Boehner has his heart in any plan.
the democrats, with president zero, will kick the can down the road. But the road will end before 2016. And the low information voters will blame President George W. Bush.
And President Zero will say that the task was impossible because of his predecessors.
Or as the pervert ex president clinton said, no president could have dealt with the debt crisis.

The new reality seems to be that you may be broke it logical and financial terms, but ypu are not broke until you feeeeeeeeeeeel broke.

Retire the debt with fracked fuel.

I generally agree with Mr. Steyn, but I'm not as gloomy as he is. Buoyed by Rahm Emmanuel's maxim, "Never let a serious crisis go to waste," I see Obama's reelection as offering a lot of investment potential. First, I'm shifting a good portion of my admittedly meager investment portfolio back to precious metals. And, although I am not, myself, qualified at this time, I am urging all my kin and friends with sore shoulders or trick knees or twisted ankles (or just hangnails) to invest in the guaranteed growth industry of disability benefits. Whoops! I think I just tripped over something.
