A Liberal Supermajority - An Unbalanced Nation

Ignorance of Government -- The Filibuster
Democrats made firm and united opposition to efforts Bush, McCain and other Republicans made to curb the excesses of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. If Barack Obama becomes President and Democrats sweep both Senate and House we are in for unchecked power for a single party. -- From Ignorance of Government: the filibuster - who new? neo-neocon

A Liberal Supermajority - What Would That Mean?

• Unchecked power for a single party would create socio-economic conditions of mid-30s and mid-60s.
• Democrats would consolidate their Congressional majorities, probably with a filibuster-proof Senate.
• The most profound political and ideological shifts in U.S. history.
• Liberals would dominate the entire government in a way they haven't since 1965, or 1933.
• Election would mark the restoration of the activist government that fell out of public favor in the 1970s.
• Unchecked left-wing ascendancy...with the media cheering it all on.
• Keep in mind that the most important power of the filibuster is to shape legislation, not merely to block it.
• Democratic Congress likely to lay final flagstones on path to government-run health insurance from cradle to grave.
• The Obama plan would shift between 32 million & 52 million from private coverage to the huge new entitlement.
• The commitments would start slow, so as not to cause immediate alarm.
• Health-care spending flowing into default government options, taxes would have to rise or services would be rationed, or both.
