Had a discussion with a liberal Texan who has not, in her adult years, experienced economic difficulty. That is, unlike me, she has not lived in an economically dying state (New York in the mid-90's, Michigan in the late 90's early 00's) and finally, an economically dead state (NY and MI now). So, a few people at her place of employment have been laid off and she's worried. She was supremely offended when I said, "It's not bad yet and it's going to get worse."
The government can't save you. But you can save you. Is life really that bad out there? I still don't believe America is anywhere near the misery of the 1920s and 1930s.
Hi all! I know you can't watch videos at work and I know this video is long. Still, you need to watch this. And for my liberal friends, please watch this too.
At Pajama's today, I wrote an article about the conflict between the economy and the environment and that when the two crises compete, the economy wins. It is not an either/or problem, of course. It is possible and important, I believe, for conservatives to have a cohesive message and coherent policy regarding the environment. Currently, we have neither.
