Perhaps what the American people need is the wake up call that would sound with Obama in the White House and a solid liberal Democrat majority in Congress. They will all too quickly find that Obama was not kidding when he told Joe the plumber he wants to spread the wealth around. Groups like ACORN and their supporters will be the victors and get the spoils of the US tax system. Hard working Americans will find their taxes drastically increased, the price of gasoline going to near $5 per gallon and many will lose their jobs as small businesses cut back in the face of massive new taxes. They may also find that Obama's foreign policy will bring terrorism back to our shores.

I would also hope that in the next two years the Republicans would wake up, get some leadership and sweep the Congress in 2010 and the White House in 2012 riding the wave of dissatisfaction the Democrats have brought. Sadly the American economy will be in a massive recession by 2012 and it may take a decade to undo the mess Obama, Pelosi and Reid have created.

We have never undone any of the massive entitlement programs that FDR and LBJ created such as Social Security and Medicare; if we were to ever get another massive entitlement program such as a United States "National Health Service," we would never be able to undo that either.

It's proven to be impossible to do anything but grow these monsters; President Bush couldn't even get Social Security at least moved to a more sustainable basis with private accounts.
