JimCrandellI agree Barry--the left is by itself not loony but there is a segment of the left called the loony left that I believe Obama will take his marching orders from.
Dan,
I honestly believe that Obama will try to pass every program the far left has pushed for over the past 10-20 years.
First I am sure you saw that he intends to just give every American on welfare $1,000. He will then take the most accelerated tax structure and make it even more so by reducing taxes for the poor and what he calls the middle class and increasing it on the most productive of our society--from already a record percentage. The percentage of the population not paying taxes will grow to a majority--the true welfare state.
Then watch how rapidly he tries to increase spending --some of which under the guise of us getting out of the recession--some of which because he wants to change our society to a more socialist model. The massive spending will be followed by an equally massive increase on those paying the taxes....and obviously high inflation will follow.
As far as the banking system is concerned we are moving toward absolute govt control--including the govt dictating who and where money will be lent to.
Health care--expect price contriols, limits on what Doctors can make,healthcare rationing and poorer medical care.
Immigration--open the door to as many Mexicans as possible to turn Texas, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona into permanently democratic states.
Unionization will grow as secret ballot is repealed.
FCC will impose "fairness doctrine" on talk radio fundamentally reducing influence of Rush, Sean, Laura and the Great One.
I could go on. The free enterprise system that made this country great will be hugely altered. I think those on this board on the radical left know this and are expecting it to happen. However I also think there are many reasonable people on this board who voted for "change" and they don't know what they are getting themselves into.
