The sooner the gov’t goes bankrupt, the sooner we can start to rebuild.

Be prepared for massive hardship in the interim.

Maranatha!

>The economy will contract and Obama will usher in a lower standard of living for all.

Not for all. Your forget that in a socialist regime the Elitists rise to power and take more than their fair share then redistribute the leftovers to the common peasants. The stupid Left hasn’t figured out the end game and doesn’t realize that they were just pawns to put a tyrant on the throne.

Obama needs to get out in front of this or his second term is going to literally implode.

Hence we should prepare ourselves for a truly chilling Venezuela-style public villifcation campaign right out of Atlas Shrugged.

CEO’s of companies announcing mass layoffs are going to be singled out by name and accused of being “unpatriotic” and committing various and assorted crimes. The media will lay into them 24/7 like they are some combination of John Dillinger and OBL. It is not gonna be pretty.

I don’t really care who they blame, as long as they experience the consequences of their choices.

It’s gonna start soon.
Look for the villification of “the rich” and the business owners, as soon as the people start asking questions as to why things are getting worse.

There should be NO cars in the employee parking lot with O stickers on them.

We’re a small business...13 of us. Once barry took over and the economy really started to sink, he had a choice to make. Lay off 1 or 2 people, or everyone takes a hit in hours.

We all took a hit in hours per week. That hurt, but better than losing our job.

So far, we still have insurance. Don’t know how long that will last.

We’re all in for one heck of a ride.

However, depleting the moochers “bounty” sounds like a great idea.

Or they take over the food supply and starve their useful idiots to death because they don't need them anymore.

As long as Santa keeps sending the Obamaphones, the Dem base couldn’t care less about the destruction of the private sector.

Boehner's fault!

Get ready for it. You know it's coming. Everything is going to be Boehner's fault.

Even after he bends over forward and gives Ubama everything he wants.

You mentioned construction up for the Jersey area: What a difficult decision for the President though, to allow unions to run the show or have his precious illegals doing the work..... how will he decide.

Disaster looms for America. She became a grand nation through individual freedom after those first Pilgrims risked their lives and fortunes back in 1620 to escape tyranny and religious persecution in England..Of course, over time, others who prized the opportunity to become self reliant and work hard came from many nations to make us the melting pot we are. We did not achieve greatness over these 400 years through open borders without a process for citizenship and welfare and through the exploitation of our “lady parts” during the height of our hormonal years. I am reading Alexis De Tocqueville’s DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA and it is as stunning and revealing today as it was 200 years ago. He was a foreign visitor whose assessment of American life, morals and politics is the best ever written. The thing he mentions right off as the most important factor in any nation is a common language. A Tower of Babble is a prescription for war and disaster. We have enought trouble communicating with one another when we do have a common language. Also, it chills me to think of how many people cast a vote in the election just past who do not speak English or who cannot understand what they are voting for without the ability to communicate in English. Of course, those who have been through the citizenship process probably know a lot more than the vast majority of American college graduates. Sad times we are in, folks. Time will tell how much suffering is going to befall our nation. Read De Tocqueville, if you haven’t, and you will be enlightened.

When bread costs $5 a loaf, will the ignorant Single Women, Black and Hispanic voters catch on that something is amiss? These groups should never have been allowed to vote, because they are voting for someone else to support them.

The Founders had it right in establishing a republic, not a democracy. There should be no representation without taxation.

“You know what, put me on that ping list. I want to be able to prove to the scoffers here that I was right.”

Good idea. I don’t have a layoff ping list, but there should be one! Maybe someone here can start one?

just take your just dues and the very welfare that is already available

That's exactly what the "jug-eared moron" wants.

Cause massive unemployment and widespread misery, destroy the middle class in America once and for all, and when the economy inevitably collapses, rebuild using the Marxist blueprint.

Because of all the stupid people who contributed to this election outcome, we have now lost our country to Marxism. Goodbye right to life, religious freedom, private property rights, and decent medical care.

Let the fools go about with a O-grin on their faces

"O-grin"

Apt description of the expression on the foolish schmucks' faces. I suspect they won't be grinning for long.
