I have heard rumors that the Dems are not necessarily all that upset about the Republicans taking over the House. That way, they can blame everything for the next 2 years on Republican obstructionism! They still think Obama can win a second term - heaven help us!
What is truly ironic is that we lose no matter what course of action the politicians take. If they cut taxes, the economy will boom, and tax revenue will increase. The problem with that is they will just spend more, and Republicans are just as guilty of bringing home the pork as Dems are. Government keeps growing.
If taxes are high and the economy stagnates, we get rid of the Democrats, but are stuck with a lousy economic situation. No matter what the politicians do, we are tooled.
In other words, can’t we just tell them all to go home and stay there?
Pay them all doublke if they stay home.
