2006 Election

While the Senate remains in doubt, the decisive Democrat victory to gain control of the House bodes ominously for the coming years. Democrats, of course, never met a tax they didn't like so whatever savings have been made in the past decade are about to disappear. The economy is presently zipping along, lowest unemployment in modern history, record Dow averages, but all likely to go the way of individual freedoms as we are sure to see loads of legislation designed to "soak the rich" as the Left is fond of saying, but in reality means everyone. Additionally, government programs, bloated as usual will reappear to satisfy the Democrat base, the lazy who see government as the answer to everything and personal responsibility a curse. We'll see how they manage to placate North Korea and Iran, since in the past they have shown no willingness to confront evil. As for terrorism in general, the Left has always viewed it as a law enforcement problem, hence, their greatest concern is to ensure people who cut off heads in the name of god have their rights certified in a court of criminal law. Yes, it looks ominous.
