If Obama wins the election we won't have the same excuse for it that we had in 2008. This time we will be getting exactly what we deserve.
All around us we see advanced Western societies spending themselves into oblivion. We see middle class people in Spain and Greece rummaging through garbage cans to avoid starvation as their society crumbles around them. Will we have the good sense to avoid that fate? Maybe not.
This election is a test of the people. In 2008, people said, "We like this guy." In 2012, we'd be saying, "We like these policies." That's far more disturbing.
If the bleak certainty of dependency without end has more appeal than the possibility of economic revival then it says nothing good about where America's headed.
