Whoever gets elected in 2012 is going to have a heck of a mess on their hands in 2013.

There is a realistic possibility that the next Presidents main job is going to be shaping the post implosion direction of the country.

I kind of think that’s part of the reason Palin decided not to go for it.

Who wants to be President when the greatest country the world has ever known implodes upon itself. That is going to be a footnote in history to end all footnotes.

I’d not be surprised if we had to drop back and punt.

IE, we had to go back to the basic Constitution + 10,
let the states fend for themselves financially for about a decade,
then start to rebuild.
