Reality Check

Victor Davis Hanson discusses the ways in which our country's debt crisis is causing us to think differently about the welfare state in this NRO piece.

His article details the changing perspectives that will affect us as the US simply runs out of money. Initially, it seems to be a rather sobering piece. But, as I read through it, I actually had a little epiphany. I had been suggesting that the country is lost to conservatives. But I think I agree with Prof. Hanson that as the effects of our debt crisis become widespread, our "tolerance" for PC and BS will drop.

Sadly, it may be our last hope for saving our economy.
