A list of what *WON'T* happen with the new fascist-Tea Bag-GOP Congress.
1. Bush's crippling tax cuts won't expire - redistributing wealth upward & allowing the richest 1% to buy the next election with...

2. The Citizens' United ruling, which won't be fixed so we can restore democracy.

3. The wars won't end - further draining the treasury, providing a distraction to the MSM & generating more & more fear and hatred for foreigners...

4. The deficit won't be brought under control, with the tax cuts adding $4 trillion. This will starve out all other federal, state & local govt spending - which stimulates the economy better than anything else. Which means...

5. The economy won't recover & unemployment will remain at record levels...

6. The housing market won't recover and will crash again, because people won't be able to keep paying their mortgages without jobs...

7. And without jobs people won't be able buy other things. Lack of economic activity will exasperate the failing economy...

8. And in 2012, the GOP will be able to blame everything on Obama & the Democrats.



Is it too early in the morning to start drinking?

2. We're fucked fer sure.
In two years, we'll be a full fledged feudal system.

It is too early to start drinking. I suggest heroin instead.

Serfs up! :banghead:

4. I know the republicans own the damn MSM but the Democrats
could have done a better job getting the message out. It seems to me they were afraid to go before the TV mike and camera and tell our side of the situation. Where they afraid if they complained the big guns of money money money from a**wipes like Rove would pounce on them. Well look what happened they kept their mouths shut and lost anyway. So if it was me and you ---damn it wouldn't you have rather gone down fighting instead of standing there like a piece of wood and let the pee all over you. You're damn right we would. That's the trouble with these Democrats in office they lack the spine to stand up to the republicans. And if you complain they especially go after you.

5. Take a course in how Congress is laid out and works...
Number 1 - The Bush era tax cuts expire BEFORE the next Congress take their seats. So unless the current Congress extends all of the Bush tax cuts, including the cuts for people earning over 250,000, before January 1st then they are gone.

7. You gotta keep up with the news.

Obama signals compromise with GOP on tax cuts

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101103/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama

Which means, if we go by the last couple years, he'll roll over and make them permanent. "Comprimise" means capitulation.

6. #8 is true and important. This is what happened after 8 years of disaster, and will
happen again. Even if he compromises, gives gop what they want, cuts taxes and spending...he will STILL be an unpatriotic, elite, foreign socialist with ties to Chicago mobs and acorn.
