I just don’t see things as bad as some folks. Sure it will be a challenge, but I thought the 70’s were much worse with unemployment, oil embargo, and various other stuff. Next to the 70’s, I believe this is cake. Of course I guess being 9 in 1979 might have given me a false sense of what was going on but it sure seemed awful.
We didn't have $100 trillion of unfunded mandates. We didn't have the HUGE dependency class suffocating hard-working people like we have today and although Carter was a disaster, he was just a naive fool. We now have a Marxist lunatic rapidly building a gigantic out-of-control bureaucracy that threatens our country's existence as a free nation.
We can't stand any more statist "tinkering class" Republicans that would basically transfer influence from one group of K-streeters to another. We're out of time and millions of Tea Partiers are sensing it. It's a beautiful thing.
