RobertYep, next year or sooner symWed Aug 3, 2011 8:57am74.237.40.72From the sad but true department, here are four accurate reality based quotes from Canadian Mark Steyn:
Quote:
It is a depressingly European argument that the right of center party can through sheer attention to detail make the left-wing state run more efficiently. You never can. The ratchet effect of Big Government is such that the minute you turn your back it resumes its inexorable growth.
Quote:
Any credible Republican candidate should be proposing the closing or wholesale privatization of departments, bureaus, and agencies. If you're not, you're not serious.
Quote:
We have half-a-decade to turn this around. If we really intend (as is apparently foreseen by our bipartisan saviors) to add $7 to 10 trillion to the debt by 2020, then America is over because clearly there is no intention ever to repay that money, and the world will make its dispositions accordingly.
Quote:
The Democrats want to plunge over the cliff at full throttle. Too many Republicans think it will be fine as long as we go over the edge in third gear.
November 2012 will be a tipping point for America. It doesn't bode well as of today----fiscal responsibility and the securitization of votes are incompatible. (my words, not Steyn's)

Robert
