Peggy Noonan on the short-sightedness of our leaders

I haven't been too thrilled by Peggy Noonan in the last year or so. She has a good column out now though. She talks about how our current leaders (and she can't even really say that the blame is on Obama and the Democrats) keep on piling on regulations and taxes as if America can take anything and maybe (probably?) it can't.

I like that she pointed out the stupidity of New York politicians:

"This week the New York Post carried a report that 1.5 million people had left high-tax New York state between 2000 and 2008, more than a million of them from even higher-tax New York City. They took their tax dollars with them—in 2006 alone more than $4 billion.

You know what New York, both state and city, will do to make up for the lost money. They'll raise taxes."

I think she has some good points... America is on the brink and the Democrats appear more than willing to push the country off the cliff.
