Vigilance and Involvement

It hasnt taken long and already we are seeing signs of things to come. We havent even seated a new democrat controlled congress and already the market is on its tiptoes and people are being very cautious about what is to come. An economy that has been doing nothing but growing is now creeping along cautiously, waiting for the shoe to drop. As a result, recent reports have consumer confidence at nil and the value of the dollar dropping.

I'm not suggesting that the dems WILL destroy the economy and certainly not as a goal. I am suggesting the democrat policies will have a detrimental affect. The tax cuts currently in place and other mechanisms that are aiding the economic growth are legislated thru 2010 so for all their bluster it is unlikely that anything will change between now and then.

But...

We cant rule out radical action by the extreme left in congress. They WANT to act...you know they do. They want to repeal every progressive economic policy, to order impeachment, to order trials and investigations. If this starts...kiss the economy goodbye.

There is a way this could all be kept in check. The people need to be vigilant and visible. They need to be contacting congressmen, calling in to talk shows, writing editorials, commenting on blogs, they need to be active and involved. Congress needs to be reminded who really has the power and what is really important.

Or not. We can just sit back and let things happen. We KNOW the radical left as well as we know the radical right. We know who they are and what they want. SO...we sit back and do nothing...its really not thier fault. It's ours.
