Mark Steyn's New York Times bestseller, After America, is now in paperback! Featuring a new introduction and updated throughout, After America takes on Obama's disastrous plan for our nation, and reveals exactly what a post-American world will look like if we don't change our ways soon. Says Steyn: "Nothing is certain but debt and taxes. And then more debt. If the government of the United States had to use GAAP (the 'Generally Accepted Accounting Practices' that your company and the publisher of this book have to use), Uncle Sam would be under an SEC investigation and his nephews and nieces would have taken away the keys and cut up his credit card." Slim as it is, however, Steyn argues there is still hope. "Americans face a choice: you can rediscover the animating principles of the American ideaâ??of limited government, a self-reliant citizenry, and the opportunities to exploit your talents to the fullestâ??or you can join most of the rest of the western world in terminal decline. This is a battle for the American idea, and it's an epic one, but you can do anything you want to do. So do it." Bitingly funny and wickedly clever, After America is Mark Steyn at his best… (plus d'informations)

Dry wit, puns and hyperbole are a lot like salt and hot sauce - great when used in moderation, but when you dump the entire bottle out and cover the dish in them, it tends to detract from the meal being served. That pretty much sums up how I feel about After America. I don't disagree with the author's analysis of the dire economic situation that the United States has put itself into, but this book reads like a 300 page rant. I love Mark Steyn's work - just not this particular one. I tried reading it, and then I even tried listening to the audiobook, and a third of the way in I just can't take it any longer. I really enjoyed Steyn's previous book [b:America Alone|30112|America Alone The End of the World As We Know It|Mark Steyn|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1316281197s/30112.jpg|30511], but the difference between it and After America is that in America Alone I was learning about a subject I had little knowledge of, whereas I don't need to read a book such as this to be convinced that America has a spending problem that is likely cripple if not completely ruin the nation one day.

The main point I came to recognize from this book is that America is now just like Western Europe. We have huge unsustainable entitlements and a government that is unwilling to cut benefits. We also have a huge military budget on top. Military spending will decrease while entitlement spending will increase. We will not be able to spend money on anything we choose because it has already been promised to entitlements. America is not what it used to be. ( )

I love Mark Steyn, but the reason this book only got 4 stars from me is that it is so depressing. And sadly, that isn't Steyn's fault. ( )
