Hillary has proposed $800 billion in new government spending half way into the campaign. Anybody who hasn’t already heard the warning is not capable of being reached. That’s what is frightening in all of this. Tom Brokaw thinks that Americans are like a herd wandering the veldt looking for a water hole of “solutions.” Well, okay, but will any ‘solution’ do? What if there’s strichnine in the water?

We know what solutions are forthcoming from Hillary. They will destroy the economy. If the collective we votes for that, then the collective we deserves the ensuing fates.
