It's clear that if you don't pay taxes, you shouldn't be able to vote. Think we can get somebody elected on that platform?

I can't say for sure I'd rather raise kids in a depression than in that, but ... yikes. I.E. he’s not talking about a depression, but a permanent state of mediocre subsidy for most.

And Steyn is making what is probably the immediate worst-case: That Obama will pull us so far to the left, economically, that we won't pull back out, like France with its mandated work weeks and Canada with its subsidized everything.

Even the Great Depression only lasted about a decade, and that was in an era where demagogues like FDR could remain in office for life. Worst case scenario: Obama successfully pulls the FDR trick once in 2012, is gone in 2017, and your 7 1/2 year old will barely know the difference.
