“..poorer, less happy and less free”

Posted on September 1, 2012 by KG

‘…Whether Mitt Romney can eliminate the deficit is not clear. What is beyond doubt, though, is that Mr Obama cannot. His four years have left America poorer, less happy and less free. As Clint Eastwood told Republican delegates: “Politicians are employees of ours – and if somebody does not do the job, we gotta let ’em go.”
In a television interview after Mr Romney’s speech, the presenter asked me whether it was possible to win on an austerity message. Hadn’t the Greeks just punished the politicians who suggested deep budget cuts? “Yes,” I told him, “but Americans aren’t Greeks. We expect better of you.”….’               Daniel Hannan, Brit conservative .

    It seems Kg – despite the appearance of senility in Clint Eastwood’s presentation that he actually made some telling points deemed worthy of quotation by those with impeccable conservative credentials on the other side of the Atlantic
