For those of you who have helped to hand the House to the most radical left-wing liberal member ever to foul its halls, I sincerely hope you'll enjoy the following:
Higher taxes
Gay Marriage
Millions more illegals flooding through an unchecked border
Free medical care, college tuition, etc. for those illegals
24 hour abortion clinics
A degraded military
Further erosion of the family and values
I also expect that this country will be hit worse than on 9/11.
The Muslim extremists are getting EXACTLY what they want -- more spineless Democrats ruining America. They will be emboldened like never before.
I may have to join the Baldwins in Canada.
Though I addressed this generally, I haven't gone item by item, but I would like to.
Higher taxes - no doubt in my mind, though it will take a couple of years and a Democrat President before it happens.
Gay marriage - no change at all on the federal level.
Millions more illegals flooding through an unchecked border - Millions more? Doubtful, but there will be a huge push to grant amnesty to all of the ones that are already here. There is the possibility that the new Congress will use their hatred of business to heavily fine and punish those that hire illegals, (which would be a GOOD thing, IMO), but an unintended consequence would be that fewer illegals would be coming here for jobs, so this could actually cut back on illegals coming into the country.
Free medical care, college tuition, etc. for those illegals - Free medical, sure. Free tuition, I doubt it, though I can see them trying to push the states to offer in-state tuition breaks to illegals.
24 hour abortion clinics - Abortion is already legal, and there aren't 24 hour abortion clinics that I'm aware of. Nothing is going to change vis a vis abortion at the federal level.
A degraded military - Possible, but not likely. I think it will be a hard sell to cut military funding at the moment.
Further erosion of the family and values - No politician of either party determines my family's values, and I would be concerned about any family that allowed that to happen, regardless of party affiliation.
