Explaining the tax increases will be easy. Explaining why Mom has to die because the government won’t treat her illness will be the tough part.
If they pass it, and the Pubbies take back both houses (unlikely) I doubt it will get reversed anyway. The Democrats are communists, and communists play the long game. They are looking to Nationalize everything, and don’t care about short term setbacks. I am sure all of the losers will be compensated. Such it is. Pubbies will win 2010, won’t do squat, and the dumbos will be back in by 2012. We need a RINO free GOP, or more likely, a valid, tenable 3rd party.
I could easily see retaking the House and perhaps even the Senate in ‘10, certainly closing the senatorial gap to less than 60-40. But I doubt they’ll have veto proof majorities, so if the Dems ram this through, the first chance to repeal it may be in ‘13, assuming a Republican presidential win in ‘12, and by then it may be viewed as too much of a fait accompli to be undone.
With around 26 million unemployed Democrats are facing protests from the right, the middle and even the constituency they serve on the left!
