Congress is going to waffle and finally give in.. as they are still beholden to Wall Street. The public will be so far in dept that we will never see anything but increased taxes or budget cuts for the next 20 years.
Rumor has it that if we get McCain-Palin Wall Street will be running a privatized health care (Medicare) and social security in a few years. We are but a few steps from fascism..... or maybe we are already there.
