Socialism is good! Communism is bad! Exclamation points are pointy! Robber barons use propaganda to enslave your soul and force you to vote against your self-interest!
As John Boehner has said, the next two years will be gridlock. The R's ran on a campaign of preventing the D's from doing anything, which pretty much means the R's won't have any opportunities to "repair" anything, either. And Boener's fake tan is icky.
The USA has been living beyond its means for a very long time. In the future, Americans will be poorer, regardless of which party gets to do its grandstanding in the House.&nbp; The QE2 is basically a wealth tax. It picks everyone's pockets, so the more you have in your pocket, the more you "pay".
There's nothing terribly wrong with a "carbon tax". The problem is getting rid of the taxes that the carbon tax should replace. The "temporary" World War I telephone tax overstayed its welcome by 80 years!
