My concern arises out of the scenario that sees the economic deluge coming after Christmas just about the time the Republicans take control of the House and Senate touching off the great debate about what to do as our economy and our culture disintegrates from under our feet.

Democrats and the media will propose leftist legislation that will only exacerbate inflation and make matters worse but the media will join them in painting the Republicans as heartless and selfish.

Perhaps this election tells us that the debate over who's at fault for our economic mess is now settled but I fear that we might lose the debate over what to do about it.

This is a serious concern (my only alteration to your scenario is that I think the real economic deluge could come very shortly post-election, before Christmas).

I don’t anticipate that a new Congress will enter with a unified purpose and a set of actions that will be effective to the crisis at hand. They may only get one shot, and that shot, to be effective, would magnify the economic pain and disruption in the near term. The Left will be in the streets wreaking havoc and destruction almost immediately.

Your concern is well founded.
