We're
already in big trouble, and it's going to get way worse before it gets better if history is any indication. It really didn't matter who was elected President, the wheels of financial chaos are already past the point of no return and no amount of taxation, loans, bailouts or "stimulus" by the federal government is going to change it. Only the consumers, you and I, can make the difference. The question is whether or not we're willing to do what it takes or simply expect our neighbor to do it for us.
