On our own?
Mark Steyn utters the truth about our country. In spite of what Obama claims, we are not nor have been for a very long time on our own:
"In what area of life are Americans now 'on their own'? By 2008, Fannie and Freddie had a piece of over half the mortgages in this country; the 'subprime' mortgage was an invention of government. America’s collective trillion dollars of college debt has been ramped up by government distortion of the student-loan market. Likewise, health care, where Americans labor under the misapprehension that they have a 'private' system rather than one whose inflationary pressures and byzantine bureaucracy are both driven largely by remorseless incremental government annexation. Americans are ever less 'on their own' in housing, education, health, and most other areas of life — and the present moribund slough is the direct consequence."
The hard truth of our present situation is the cost of not allowing us to be a little more on our own.

And which presidential candidate dares to breathe a word about any of this? (Hint: He's the one that the media pretends doesn't exist.)
