Some hope the above is likely. Hillary right now is planning to be the new FDR and life would be hell under that scenario. Scary thought. But I think we could survive a depression,,the strong will based on their character and virtue. The weak wouldn't. If you believe character begats strength, as I do, I have no doubt I would survive along with a number, a great number, of freepers.

Let's hope there won't be a need to "build strength through character" too much...the sensible FReeper-types will survive, I agree, but imagine this "scenario" down the road (from the article):

A Democratic takeover would produce a dramatically different approach, in tone and substance, to the relationship between government and business. The new chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee would likely be Rep. John Dingell of Michigan, who supports a national health-insurance program. He is currently campaigning as a staunch foe of corporate misbehavior. The new chairman of the House Financial Services Committee would be Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts, who backs reregulation of the cable-television industry. The new chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee would be Rep. Charles Rangel of New York, who has proposed amending the U.S. Constitution to guarantee every American "a right to a home."

And that's just Dingell, Frank and Rangel in the House...time to get to work on "getting the vote out"!!
