And what I can't wait to watch and unfold is the fiscal train wreck just around the bend. I figure about 4-5 more years of $1 - $1.5 Trillion deficits should just about do the trick.
Hello Greek and Irish style austerity measures.
Me thinks the GOP would be smart to just sit back and go along with the Dems plan of doing absolutely nothing and keeping their heads in the sand.
Maybe the tooth fairy will come along and fix everything.
I'm starting to come around to this line of thinking. It just seems pointless to fight for any sort of fiscal responsibility when it comes to entitlement programs because the American public is inherently selefish and hasn't had to deal with the daily reality of our debt crisis.
And since I believe that we are going to have raise taxes as well as slash spending, I'd be fine with the Dems jacking up taxes over the next couple years and then losing power when they're unable to provide the quick fix by simply taxing the rich.
Then the Pubs take back over, leave a somewhat higher tax rate (relative to today) in place, and then they slash the hell out of entitlement programs.
I know it's a long winded theory but it could just work.
