So what writing on the wall did the American people see in 2006?
Same writing as now only is was "Right" Handed instead of "Left" Handed. Look at the similarities.
Non stop war mongering and foreign intervention
Expansions of the War in Iraq and Afghanistan
The beginnings of the recessions instead of the throes of one.
Unstable oil/gas pricing
Expansion of the Federal Governments reach into our day to day lives.
Continued blows to our Individual Liberty, FISA Courts, Patriot Act, TSA etc etc. All created under Bush and all subject to repeal under Obama, didn't happen.
Incurring economy crushing debt from 2000 to present. Yes the speed of growth is accelerated by Obama but the concept is the same.
Enacting economy crushing regulations that continue at alarming levels.
When it comes to the restricting of economic and civil liberty it is of little comfort that if you're a Republican Neo-Fascist Totalitarian or a Democratic Socialist Totalitarian unless you derive your livelihood from one group or the other.
True change will only occur when "We The People" rise up in righteous indignation and demand that those elected be held accountable to those who elect them. We, do NOT work for our elected representatives and their crony capitalism. They work for us and they need to be reminded of this by being sent home in record numbers.
Fiat currency driving up the price of ALL commodities creating a hidden tax on those who can afford it least.
