It's likely that there will be milder scenario of 'change' at first such as, socialist healthcare, higher taxes, more regulations, fairness doctrine (I know that Rush will take care of himself), etc. before it slowly 'progresses' into full-blown socialism if we let them. We heard about the pendulum swaying back and forth, but it's never swung back to the previous right, has it? What it does is moving further and further to the left. We have to wean people off the dependency on the government. Do you think this will happen when the dependency is a goal for politicians?

Scenario: New regulations and taxes will lead to a recession. How did you survive the malaise in 1970's?

Possible Reactions:

Look for more sources of income.
Cut spending.
Consume less.
Get a secure job with the government.
Get rid of growth stocks and buy commodity stocks except the big oil. They are going to take the profit from the big oil.

Talking about big oil, I heard the ads from American Petroleum Institute (API) informing people that they, too, own big oil if they have pension fund. People in businesses are already starting to protect themselves and their employees from a drastic 'change' by our own socialist government.

I bet that in boardrooms all over the world, the executives and their advisors are discussing constringency plans in case that the US government turns far left. So should we.

Always & RUSH keeps telling you that this country is getting more conservative. What a crock. I would predict that 12 yrs from now if 85% don't own a gun to protect themselves they are goners. When the Wall Streeters get done fleecing every drop out of the workers there will be nothing left but government handouts Y'all were too lazy or too dumb to fight them when there was a chance. Today they(elites)make no pretense of what is coming.

Think of a pendulum swinging on a ship that is listing heavily to port (left). With the ship (America) as the reference, it looks like it is only moving farther left. With respect to the earth (God's universe) the swing of the pendulum hasn't changed at all, it must swing about the gravity vector. The only thing that changes is the perspective of the observer, (at least that's what I tell myself when I thing about the phenomenon you point out). If you're going to start a ping list for this thread, please count me in.
