There's no way Obama's going to have the cash to do everything he promises, so I hope he can be a president of belt tightening, hardship, and cleaning up messes. <BR/><BR/>Is Obama the guy to lower our expectations? To lead the US to dealing with lower consumption and lower incomes? Better than the alternative, obviously, but that's not saying much.<BR/><BR/>So I don't think of it so much as Yes We Did as I think of it as Yes We Will. Yes We Will raise gas taxes. Yes We Will cut taxes on personal savings. Yes We Will cut Social Security, the military, and Medicare. Yes We Will cap carbon emissions. Yes We Will bust teacher's unions. Yes We Will cut off the auto and steel industries. Yes We Will expand free trade and eliminate farm subsidies.<BR/><BR/>All I'm saying is that sacrifice and scarcity should be the theme of the day now, and I'll be interested in seeing between now and January if Obama can keep it real.AdamBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14625655604759074752noreply@blogger.com
