A darker future.

The future is looking darker. I have always had faith in America, partly because we have elections every 2 years. The question is how much damage can be done before the people can recognize a need for change. Unfortunately the damage to economy and our defense may not be easily repaired has damaged. The lessons of the past seem to be have forgotten. But even CBS evening news seems to recognize that prosecuting Bush administration lawyers for giving their legal opinions seems to be a bad idea. He has undermined the CIA and the defense of the country. 9/11 was caused by not "connecting the dots." We are going back to pre-9/11 mentality were terrorists are criminals.

Hugo Chavez believes Obama is brining his brand of socialism to America. The energy tax will wipe out any tax savings the poor will get from Obama's tax cuts. If the EPA is allowed to regulate CO2 emissions, you will see companies leaving the U.S. for China and India, higher energy prices for those who stay. The massive proposed debt may weaken the dollar, cause a return of high inflation and/or high interest rates.
