Mark Steyn: 2012 Election Is The Last Exit Ramp Before The Death Spiral

 

The other day, I passed a Republican Party county office here in my home state, its window attractively emblazoned with placards declaring “Believe in America. Romney 2012″ and “New HampshireBelieves. Romney 2012.” There’s not a lot of evidence for the latter proposition,

but I’m certainly willing to believe that Romney believes that New Hampshire believes.

If it were up to me, the {Romney’s] campaign sloganwould be “You’re screwed, losers. Steyn 2012″ — or, after yielding to the consultants’ internals showing that moderates want something more sunny and upbeat, maybe “Get real, you chumps. Steyn 2012.” That’s the reason I’m not running. Well, that and the Hawaiian birth certificate.

I wouldn’t claim to know what America believes or even what “New Hampshire Believes,” but this is what I believe — that another four years of the present statist ascendancy will seal America’s fate.

 

As noted here previously, the International Monetary Fund predicts that China will become the world’s dominant economic power by 2016. So the guy elected in November will be the first president since Grover Cleveland to know what it feels like to be the global also-ran.

 

Even this, however, understates the size of catastrophe the United States faces. There are no precedents in history for a great power spending itself to death on the scale America is doing. President Obama has added $5 trillion to the national debt, and has nothing to show for it. Do you know how difficult that is to do?
