As the country continues to meltdown, Obama will appear more like a conservative than a liberal in the years to come. In fact, Republicans should be embracing Obama because he is what the Republican party will look like, probably after the next election. Hopefully, Obama will recognize that he is moving too slow at addressing the problems in the country and get much more liberal on policy.
Obama needs to get us out of all these wars and fast. He is moving too slowly and it appears the U.S. will be in both wars for many years to come. Obama needs to get aggressive with single payer health insurance, living wage laws, and nationalization of many basic industries. Start with banking. Go to basic utilities. Start setting the prices of drugs, doctors and health care and then nationalize the companies when they go belly up.
The stimulus bill is not going to revive the country, it will help in pockets of the economy. However, the Republicans’ opposition to the stimulus will only hurt them in the future because they have no ideas. They simply say that the stimulus won’t work. So, exactly what do the Republicans suggest? That is why the Republicans will have to transform themselves. In two years, there will be an even stronger majority of Democrats in Congress and the next round of Democrats will be much more populist and liberal than the current round is. Unemployment will be much higher. More wealth will have been destroyed. There will be plenty of “free enterprise” Republicans looking to vote for more liberal policies because they will have lost jobs and wealth.
The only way America is going to survive is the everybody is in one boat paradigm. If the country attempts to preserve the rich-poor idea of greed capitalism, the country is going to fail very quickly and populist revolution will be the result.
America is doomed.
