Mark Steyn: ‘this is a toe tag of Uncle Sam lying in the morgue, because I think that’s what’s at stake’ (audio)

August 5, 2011 By Kathy Shaidle

Mark Steyn talks with Hugh Hewitt ( plus free audio courtesy of @FlyoverCountry):

We need to stop the spending now. The spending in this country is nuts. I was, last week, just after speaking to you, I drove back south of the border. I’d been over the border in Quebec for lunch, and I passed a little border post at North Troy, Vermont.

On the Canadian side, Her Canadian Majesty makes do with a one room hut.

On North Troy, they’ve rebuilt this border post that handles a couple of cars an hour with this big, two-story facility, six lanes of traffic. It looks absurd.

In the rubble of the United States, space aliens will be saying North Troy, Vermont, what a mighty empire this must have been here.

PS: Steyn joins Hewitt for the full hour on Monday.
