We Are Facing So Many Days Of Dread.

As much as we resist I am not sure it will be enough to stop our slide down into an unknown abyss. I really hope we can stop this tax cut, but I am hardly confident.

I was surprised at how little they managed to get done...and in less than a year we could have a new Congress or senate. That will stop them cold...channel your dread into a determined fight to regain the house and Senate...if we get the Senate we stop the packing of th courts too...resisting is not easy.
