Well, that is it. The people have spoken, and apparently they have gotten what they wanted. Obama is reelected, the Senate remains in Democrat hands, and the House remains to the Republicans, even increasing their lead there. What this LION has noticed watching Fox News last night was the difference in the supporters in the halls of the two candidates. Obama's crowd was energized, as well it should be, but more than that all of the faces were young, male and female, white, black and other, while among Romney's supporters I could only see old white men. And they were not very energized.
So the question is, What to do now? LION suggests holding two unalterable principals, and work with the Democrats on the rest.
First: Absolutely, positively no new debt. Not a single penny. No matter what! Second: the first item in the new budget (a budget that must come from the House) is one trillion dollars a year for debt amortization. After this, let Obama and the Democrats have what ever they want, and to raise whatever taxes are necessary, on whomever is necessary in order to cover whatever other spending they wish to make.
The factor here is damage control, and the heck with the economy, what will be will be. What will be will be Obama's win or lose. We will give him all of the spending that he wants, and we must demand that it paid for day by day.
