I know I have to laugh when I hear people talking about how the Republicans will repeal Healthcare and stop Cap and Trade.
I don’t know who is really running the country.
But it is not the Democrats
or the Republicans.
The problem with predicting future events based on prior events is there is always the possibility of an unexpected random event that will force a change.
I somewhat agree with you that the current crop of Republicans would go along with keeping Healthcare and may even go with cap and trade. But that is not a certainity.
The oil disaster in the gulf was certainly predictable, but few would be able to predict the response of this administration and the way the people are turning against it.
I will not predict the next event (I don't have a clue although I could guess at some possibilities). What I can predict is two things, something is going to happen, and this administration is going to bungle it.
Our nation was once described as a ship with the president as captain, I think now we are more like a rubber raft going down some rapids with an untried, unskilled boatman steering. Hang on tight it is going to be a bumpy ride.
Repeal Healthcare, stop cap and trade, hell I will be happy if we survive this administration's term in office.
