Cokie and Steve Roberts
Two of the premier political commentators in the United States – who happen to be married to each other for the last 40 years – have picked up on a thread in The Hundred-Foot Journey to make a point as relevant to America as it is to Europe. Check out French Lessons For The United States, the latest column by Steve and Cokie Roberts.
As usual, the DC commentators used their down-to-earth common sense to nail our growing fiscal crisis on the head. Their deadly accurate call: “Unchecked entitlements will devour America’s future.”
Modern societies provide their citizens with entitlements, it’s a fact Republicans need to get their heads around, but so is the reality our economic pie is finite. We must live within our means. If our politicians don’t deal with the reality of our deteriorating national finances, it’s a matter of time before the markets will force the issue on them – a la Greece.
