Mark Steyn says what politicians won't

Political writer and commentator Mark Steyn's latest column is chock full of facts and figures every American needs to know. Here's just one of his gems:

Only America is spending trillions. The 2011 budget deficit, for example, is about the size of the entire Russian economy.

Steyn also cites specific examples of deep cuts in exchange rates suffered by dollar compared to other currencies. For those who still believe America's debt-driven spending frenzy can end well, I suggest you read Steyn's column in its entirety. It's available at National Review Online.
