The downgrade and the riots are part of the same story: Big Government debauches not only a nation's finances, but its human capital too.

As part of my promotional efforts, I chanced to find myself on a TV show the other day with an affable liberal who argued that what Obama needed to do was pass another trillion-dollar — or, better yet, multitrillion — stimulus.

I think not. The London rioters are the children of dependency, the progeny of Big Government: They have been marinated in "stimulus" their entire lives. There is literally nothing you can't get her majesty's government to pay for. From page 205 of my book:

"A man of 21 with learning disabilities has been granted taxpayers' money to fly to Amsterdam and have sex with a prostitute." Hey, why not? "He's planning to do more than just have his end away," explained his social worker. "Refusing to offer him this service would be a violation of his human rights."
