A few months ago I predicted, as soon as the Republicans gained back some power, the oil industry would hike gas prices. The start of a new year requires new predictions. In the two years after the eight years of redistribution of wealth to the super wealthy, the economy started to come back on line. Eight years of economic rape and pillage cannot be corrected in a short time so naturally the voters, with the attention spans of gnats, elected to be represented again by the rape and pillagers.
These minions of the fat cats have decided the most important thing they can do for the country is defeat Obama in 2012. This means to undo any program Obama and the Democrats enacted. On to the predictions. Higher and higher gas prices to strangle any growth. Death by monetary starvation to the health care bill. The death of a thousand surgical cuts so to speak. Job stagnation blamed on the Democrats even though it is Republican businessmen shipping all the American jobs to China. Government shut downs due to the Tea Nut-baggers. Racism comes more to the fore front driven by certain radio and television network personalities. Stupid becomes the new smart. Lies become the new truths. Disrespect becomes the new courage. The everyman American gnats will cling to the rotten conservative fruit.
