More proof that you’re right. If your predictions come true this year, you should buy a crystal ball and charge top dollar!

That’s the short list. There is much, much more that can be added.

I’m trying to get my hands around the fact that “public servants” are earning 2 to 3 times the median HOUSEHOLD income of US citizens!

Something is horribly wrong with our government.

There won’t be a “revolt”, but there will be an event.

The government needs one now more than ever. This transcends the two-party system facade.

A conventional war would be “perfect” right now.

That, or they will wreck this country completely to raise up a one-world communist government.

It is one, or the other at this point—either way, many will die.

One of 2010's most intriguing questions will be whether the American people's aggregated nausea by the November election triggers the peaceful overthrow of the United States government.

The elections will provide little or no relief. Most of those responsible for gov't outrages will still be in office after the elections and the majority of those replacing incumbents will turn out to be at least as inept or corrupt.

The collapse is coming. The states will declare DC null and void.

Always remember the DEMS took Congress in 2006, When discussing the recession and spending increases. Don’t let them blame 2006 through 2008 spending on Bush.

• Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac get up to $400 billion

No longer capped at $400 billion. Treasury removed the limit on Christmas Eve.

Seems like he could come up with a better role model than the "former" terrorist Nelson Mandella.

Don’t count on any large-scale shift in politics in 2010.

The scu&bags who are in office now are nothing but a reflection of the scu&bags who voted them into office.

(Scu&bags love scu&bags dontcha know.)

IMHO
