I agree. I confess, however, that I fantasize about a split decision. Sometimes things have to get worse before they got better (it took WWII to save the Jews from Hitler). If they strike only the mandate, it will speed up the timeframe of all the “get worse” part.

And lets be frank, even without Obamacare in the equation, the world is going down hard. This may speed up the inevitable, allowing the Phoenix to rise from the ashes just that much sooner.

I agree with you too. I hate to be a pessimist but things do not seem to be getting any better. The financial world is going to take us all down. We are going to have to hit bottom before things start improving.

Exactly right. And things are going to get much, much worse. Some of us are actually helping that along.
