1. much as it is now, but worse
Edited on Fri Feb-08-08 03:58 PM by ixion
because it's easier to introduce something into a bureaucracy (like the unPATRIOTic Act, DHS, TSA, etc) than it is to remove it.

I could be wrong, in which case I would be very happy to admit so and be pleasantly surprised.

3. Pretty much like the 70's. Recession, unemployment, inflation,
We can resurrect the misery index.

4. Considering all the additional chaos the little dictator could unleash during the time he has left,
I wouldn't even venture a guess.

5. Any shred of hope of holding this administration to account will be gone forever.
Regardless of who wins.

11. It'll look exactly the same! Same stupid policies. More War. More aid to the wealthy.
Nothing will fucking change!

Prove me wrong.
