If the next president does even 1/10th of what Barak Obama says he's going to do (even if that president is John McCain) , it will mean hyper inflation, soaring unemployment, and an economy controlled by global warming and environmental bureaucrats. In fact I would estimate that roughly $1.50 of the current price per gallon of gasoline is related ot investors anticipation of the coming political disaster.
That's only for the above ground economy, on the books.
Like the folks behind the Iron Curtain, before it fell, Americans will create black markets and underground currencies if necessary.
