Mitch Daniels : America ought to be scared
(CBS News) A lot of Republicans wanted Indiana's popular Governor Mitch Daniels to run for President. But he decided NOT to. Daniels sat down with CBS News chief White House correspondent Norah O'Donnell for some Questions and Answers:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/...ag=pop;stories America, he says, has some tough choices to make. He discusses our problems and offers some possible solutions in a new book "Keeping the Republic" (Sentinel). He said he wrote the book because he was "alarmed about the country." His assessment is sobering: America is on the brink of becoming a failed nation. "I read this book and I was scared," said O'Donnell. "Is that what you meant it to do, to scare people?" "Yes," he replied. "People ought to be scared. If we don't make changes, we will ruin the American project. By that, I mean the dream that has attracted millions to these shores - that a person can start with nothing and rise to the top."

America ain't a failed nation. It's a failed government.
Fire them all.

Be afraid, very afraid! I wonder what the note said that he passed to the Keynesian Freak on his right?

Mr. Schiff sees the problems clearly.

Mr. Schiff should have a much greater audience. That he doesn't makes me wonder about the ability of our country to move forward, regardless of the quality of its ruling class. Daniels might have gotten it right
