And if they win and try to cut spending, the Dems will whip up the entitlement/union crowd and get elected again.
You don’t get it. NO ONE will fix the system. It has to crash and crash badly.
EVERY politician is scum. Sorry, they represent THEMSELVES and not us.
Simple majorities won't be able to pass anything, the Dems will block it.
The economy will sputter as tax cuts run out and businesses struggle under the laws the Dems passed while in the majority. Frustrated businesspeople will vote with their feet, or rather their dollars. Tax revenues will drop again.
2011 will look much like 2010, except the Republican Congress will get the blame.
Armageddon is what is in store for we the people.
Regardless of who gets elected, thing will get much worse, as soon as the Ruling Class figures out that they cannot BUY all of the New people elected to Congress and States, or at least a Majority of them, they will immediately begin destroying the economy and peoples lives in order to retain control.
If anyone out there actually believes the Banking Cartel and Wall Street are going to let a bunch of newcomers in Congress start calling the shots with regards to We The People, I have a nice bridge for sale in Long Beach.
Hold on tight, you aint seen nothing yet
Anyone who thinks we can roll back 100 years of Marxism in one election is living in a fool’s paradise.
We also need to take back our neighborhoods in local elections. I live in an area that votes 70% + for conservatives in national elections, but liberal RINO cockroaches have managed to burrow their way into county government.
Liberals need to be thrown out of every elected and unelected position in society. Taking back the US House is a good battle won, but it’s only the first step of many.
By far, the very most important thing that the new Republican majority can do is in the House, and right at the very start of the new term:
The first and second most important House committees, rules and appropriations, need to right at the beginning of the new congress, repartition the major appropriations bills into “Those we want to fund”, and “Those we don’t want to fund.”
That is, huge chunks of the government are lumped together in a few appropriations bills. When the Clinton Republican majority tried to cut them back, Clinton vetoed the bills, then accused the Republicans of “shutting down the government”.
So the way around this problem is to put all the cutbacks into their own bills, and it won’t *matter* if Obama vetoes them. In fact it is *better* that Obama vetoes them, because then he gets the credit for *killing* them, from his followers, irate at them having been killed.
And the Republicans should really take a broad axe to the government when they do this. Cut more than needs to be cut, so they will have bargaining chips.
Since the Senate is a much more liberal institution, little can be done there other than playing defense. They will likely try to counter the House with radically different bills to “save the pork”, and will pressure the House to restore funding when the bills are justified in conference committee.
So this is the second most important thing for the House to do: stick to its guns, and *not* restore funding for cutbacks. Tell the senate to stick it. If they don’t agree to cutbacks, then the entire agency dies.
No continuing resolutions if there is an impasse. Arrange it from the start so that impasses are over agencies the House is trying to eliminate, that have no chutzpah when segregated from other bills.
The bottom line for the House is that “The more you win, the stronger you get.” And in this case, winning means slashing the heck out of the size and power of the federal government.
