If you hate socialism and regulations now, just wait untill the votes of distressted working class Americans combined with the votes of the very easily minipulated and mostly poor immigrants join up and elect a ultra liberal congressional majority along with a liberal president in 2008.

Its sad that so many of the "investor class" are unable to think a quarter ahead. All they are doing is alienating enough people and importing many people who grew up thinking socialism is the way to go that we will end up with a full on European style welfare state.

exactly right.

and that nucleus may gel in time for - you guessed it - HILLARY 2008.

Thanks for bringing that up. People forget that FDR was elected by a majority of citizens as the system wasn't working for them. If we continue to offshore white collar jobs we'll see FDR 2 pretty soon.

I agree on the timeframe too. Bush will squeek this one out and we'll see another 4 years of job losses (I'm not saying its his fault) and then we'll get a liberal president. Course by then all the CEOs that made money by not looking more than a quarter or two ahead will have already retired, their money safe in a Cayman island account and won't have to deal with the aftermath.
