We hope we do comprehend the threat of collectivization. But we also try to keep in mind that collectivization can come from the right wing of the political spectrum too – as it did with 20th century European fascism. At 81 years of age, I have “seen it all”! I’m now impressed with a source that appears to be realistic about the results of current politics. Our nation needs this. Good work, American Consequences ! – Audie D. P.J. O’Rourke comment: Audie, it’s always good to hear from a grown-up (which I still define as “someone older than me,” and you’ve got me beat by nine years). Compliments from those who’ve seen it all mean a lot to us. Re: We’re Seeing Cracks in the Economy Debt binge? I used to joke that a nice dinner for two – cooking it at home – cost $50. It's now about $100. Then there’s healthcare, car payments, auto insurance, mortgage or rent, and upkeep if you own a house. One has to use a credit card to bridge the gap. Or have any kind of a life. My salary has remained the same since 2008... this year I actually and finally got a small raise, and I am a healthcare provider! So It’s unimaginable to me how those making half my salary live. Yes we are headed to a scary reckoning, no one I know is spending money on frivolous things. – Martine K.
Re: Our Newest Readers Weigh In
I am new to American Consequences but like what I’ve seen so far. – Roger R. P.J. O’Rourke comment: Roger, we like what we’ve seen of you so far, too! And we hope we do our job in a way that means we’ll see a lot more of you. Thank You Gentlemen for your wise and sound perspective on these important events! – Bob P. P.J. O’Rourke comment: We do our best to keep things in perspective. But it can be tough in a world (both political and economic) where too many people insist on seeing things in a one-dimensional way. Thank you for the insight and all objective views. Humble and grateful. – Charles W. P.J. O’Rourke comment: Charles, we’re proud and grateful to have you as a reader, so leave the humility to us (we could probably use some). Thanks for your newsletter. I don’t believe that a lot of moderate/conservative outlets, as well as the old guard, artifact Republican politicians, and the general population, fully comprehend is the threat of the collectivization of the left. – Tony C. P.J. O’Rourke comment: You’re welcome, Tony.
