Currently the debacle that was the 2007 recession
and the 2008 Meltdown and near Depression has
been reigned in and the economy has been stabilized.

The Cause was irresponsible governance for 6 years.

Republicans want to claim it all began when the Democrats
came into office with a majority in 2007. A Lie.

Democrats did not have controlling input into economic policy
until the FALL of 2007 during the 2008 Budget process! That
Budget did not go into effect until 2008.

The Country was already in recession in 2007 and saw Bailouts
already BEGINNING in the First Quarter of 2008!

Republicans blocked and denied the economy was in trouble
until it was almost too late to do anything about it.

Now we have a stabilized economy even though the Obstructionist
Republican Senators have blocked 420 House passed bills from
being CONSIDERED to become possible law. 420 economic bills
that were to help grow the economy and create jobs,

Had these Bills gone through we might be well into economic
Recovery and growing the Country back to robust economic
job, earnings and GDP Growth. But this would mean the GOP
had it all wrong.

So blocking legislation did serve a purpose, it was about putting
the GOP party before America and the American people.

Many people actually believe the lack of economic recovery is
because of Democratic incompetence. Not entirely true.

The democrats are incompetent, but their incompetence is
about not being on message and telling simply and clearly how
they saved the Country from the cliff of Depression.

The issue now is this. What happens in 2011?

If the GOP actually gets control of one or both the Senate or
the House, it will now be on the GOP to present solutions that WORK!

Not an easy task because of the incursions of the Far Right
Tea Party Candidates, who naively believe the solution to everything
is to cut Federal Spending, end Social Programs, Deregulate
Business, end subsidies, and lower taxes.

Sounds great, but implementation would actually be disastrous if in fact no rational thought is given to such actions.

I am all for these actions, in moderation; and explained the hows and whys YEARS ago. However if in fact the TEA PARTY acts without reason the next 2 years could make 2008 look like a walk in the park.

If the Country SURVIVES 2 years of GOP/Tea Party chaos
the Country will know without a doubt who is really the cause
of all the pain this Country has endure these long last 10 years.

There is a chance however rational minds will actually rule and
attempt real compromise, rather than the demolition of the United States
from the inside the Tea Party unwittingly is advocating.

If we have real political compromise and Bi-Partisan rule we
may actually come out ahead in the next 2 years, regardless
of which Party actually controls Congress.

I ain't holding my Breath. There is a reason Gold is going up!
