[X-spurt]

Depending on next November, lots of Blues may end up saying Adios Rojos. Won't be any CW2, this time the economic balance is on the seceders side. If anything the Reds will come crying when they are without pot to pee in or window to throw it out of.

Something dramatic has to change. At minimum the Tax authority under the Constitution needs to be more clearly defined and requiring 2/3rds vote to increase or enact any new tax or fee, Balanced Budget, no more funny accounting practices on budgets, annual independent accounting audit on all departments, very harsh criminal penalties for vote fraud, no one on welfare in any form allowed to vote.

"...no one on welfare in any form allowed to vote."

Millions of "professional" Americans who appear to be well-to-do (debt to their gills) are about to be forced onto welfare by law and tax penalties (up to approximately $30,000 a year for families of four for Medicaid). Matter of fact, most of those opting out will be some of those who won't owe taxes each year--the few hard working and more independent folks among the poor). ...no tax owed, no penalty for avoiding insurance/medicaid.

More likely, we who are going "Galt" (self-sufficiency, no welfare, little income, little spending, little revenue generation,...) will be somehow denied the vote by the debt/revenue-sucking, government-pensioned/employed, political, regulating NIMBY neighbors.

On with the default process to small government. Have some popcorn. Enjoy watching the political/regulator class, as it riots tomorrow.
