A Need To Revise A Shaky Business Model?
Growls fans know your scribe is a stalwart fan of the Mark Steyn fan club (here, here and here), both of his book, America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It, and his syndicated weekly columns at Investor’s Business Daily (IBD) as well as his guest host appearances for Rush Limbaugh.
In this weekend’s column at (IBD), he writes about the Western world’s shaky business model, paying particular attention to the efforts of the political class in Washington to resolve the nation’s deficit and debt woes. Mark Steyn fans will consider it a “must read,” but the following may be the most memorable quote:
"The ruling party in Washington is wedded to the principle that an 80-year-old social program is inviolable. That's like Blockbuster insisting in 2011 that there's no problem with its business model for rentals of silent movies with live orchestral accompaniment.
"To be sure, there are some problems parking the musicians' bus in residential streets, but nothing that can't be worked out."
Mr. Steyn, thank you for a memorable column. Be sure to keep your eye out for for what is sure to be another blockbuster, “After America: Get Ready for Armageddon, due out in August."
