USA 2011: McJobs, $4 Gas And Underwater Housing-Steyn

We haven't had a Mark Steyn piece in a while. It appears he doesn't approve of the current economic situation.

The American Dream, 2011: You pay four bucks a gallon to commute between your McJob and your underwater housing to prop up a spendaholic, grabafeelic, paramilitarized bureaucracy-without-end bankrupting your future at the rate of a fifth of a billion dollars every hour.

In a sane world, Americans would be outraged at the government waste that confronts them everywhere you turn: The abolition of the federal Education Department and the TSA is the very least they should be demanding. Instead, our elites worry about sea levels.

The oceans will do just fine. It's America that's drowning.

#1 Read it all, and thank your lucky stars Steyn doesn't write for the Dims.

#2 Where have all the flowers gone?

Between Carter and Clinton and now Obama, we are enjoying the rotten fruits of their collective efforts. The Carter-era Community Reinvestment Act forced banks to lend to uncreditworthy borrowers, mostly in minority areas. Clinton, 1994, spoke before a national conference, and basically said everyone should own a house (chicken in every pot notion). James Johnson, from Fannie Mae, had come up with the machinery to do it (Currently he is attending the Bilderberg Conference). Regulators were told to stfu and get out of the way. Lobbyists were used with great skill. Laws and regulations were relaxed. The lines between Wall Street and national government got blurred.

The result: The greatest looting of money the world has ever known and the breaking of our economy. Obamacare is just the final straw to topple the remains of the economy.

All of these SOBs who have there fingerprints on this debacle shouldn't be allowed near government for the rest of their lives. Prison sentences ought to be considered. They are no different than Madoff IMO.

#5 Prison sentences ought to be considered.

No, not prison sentences, mass hangings of all the would be ruling class, and their enablers and tools.

There is no way back...without bloodshed. Period. This is what Thomas Jefferson talked about.

#9 Millions will die because of this POS government. The leaders thereof should be hunted down after the collapse and put down like dogs when we are all forced to live like animals.

Treat these leaders like Amalek - leading us back into slavery.

What? And deny lampposts their secondary function?

Lets not forget the members of the media who have been outright lying about this for decades. I'm sure we have enough lamp posts to go around.

#11 "I'm sure we have enough lamp posts to go around."

If not, we can always put up more, CF. I'll contribute.

Lampposts to light the future!
