I fear this financial meltdown will allow a Marxist like B. (whose middle name may NEVER be spoken) Obama to get elected.
A bigger problem is that it will create popular political forces that will have the effect of making it not matter whether or not “B” gets elected. Under sufficient pressure from handout-demanding voters, Congress (Ds and Rs alike) will vote to increase every kind of handout ever invented, and then invent some more. And they’ll do it in sufficient numbers to make the handouts veto-proof.
This will throw the whole world into chaos. Propaganda won’t cut it this time. Holy week is going to be a real rough ride. Hold on.
