We are very disappointed by the
reelection of Obama. The retention of a majority in the House and
not losing many/any seats in the Senate is a little something for
us. Obama's win is a sad statement of the mindset of the American
voter. Which appears to me to be, "give me mine and more". The
"pimping" of the present administration to the minorities of the
Entitlement programs, can only lead to the same fate of most of the
worlds countries, financial ruin! China and the nations with more
authoritarian leadership will prosper and we will slowly slip
further and further into near 2nd. class status
For us, of our age, it may mean we will spend the rest of our life
in about the same, condition, maybe a little better financial
condition, we also may benefit from some of the Social engineering
and entitlements, I think we will continue what we have in
retirement benefits, etc.
The losers will be out grandchildren, perhaps it is too much to hope
that the good life we knew, probably the greatest century in the
history of civilization, could continue. It it exactly as has been
said many times, since the days of Rome's greatness,: that "a
democratic form of government can exist only until it's citizen
realize that they can give themselves anything they want at the
Ballot Box!" Always, of course, leading to the destruction of the
democracy, when a strong man, perhaps a dictator, emerges and takes
control. It has been said many times that perhaps the best form of
government is a benevolent Dictator. A hateful thought I know!!!!
I just hope we don't slide headlong into socialism, but we certainly
look as if that is in the works.
