I'm very anxious and fearful of the outcome of the coming November elections. If it should follow what the pundits are predicting with the Republican's controlling the House and more seats in the Senate, we will see complete shut down of governance. The house will start to investigate every department to find something to impeach President Obama and VP Binden so Boenher will become president. The Republicans will attach bills to major appropriation legislation that would overturn all the legislative action done by the Democratic Congress, including health care reform, Wall Street oversight, what's left of the stimulus package, and bills to privatize Social Security, Medicare, Veterans Affairs, and to remove the Departments of Education, EPA, Mines and Minerals Management, and some from the Tea Party will attach bills to abolish the Federal Reserve Bank, allow states to again print their own money, abolish the 12th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution. Bills to prohibit the practice of Islamic faith in America, make abortion illegal without exceptions, and over rule any states that granted the right of Gays to marry.
Of corse President Obama will veto all these bills and governance will come to a stand still. Government will be shut down each time one of these bill are vetoed, and the Republicans will use them as bait to say President Obama doesn't care about the American people because he will not sign the bill to fund the government.
The Democrats in both houses will use the same procedural tricks the Republicans have just used to kill bills with filibusters and other actions that only further prohibits governance.
Economic markets will retract under this do nothing governance, no jobs will be stimulated, unemployment will rise as it did in the Bush Administration. Charity soup lines will start as they did in the great depression. Tent cities will start to appear in vacant lots and open fields. The Republicans will want to fund these soup lines as long as they are done by Christian charities and are allowed to proselytize to those they feed, maybe as a requirement to obtain the soup.
Fear is my emotion right now. America has lost its collective sanity. So sad.
