predictions (with typos) ...what we talked about Lauren...

1)the mc cain camp will resurrect jeremiah wright and say obama is friends with terrorists and then they'll talk about how 'two feet on the spending accelerator with a democrat congress and democrat president will bankrupt us'...crazy considering its the republicans who dress up  their gambling addictions in their sunday best, spending like crazy and without even a well-functioning program to show for it...just an awful war and a bailout...

2)as states borrow money from the federal government and the government goes bankrupt guess what? we'll just have to privatize social security and healthcare and why not schools while were at it...aka Friedman and the Shock Doctrine because its worked so well for Chile and South Africa...

3)the rich will feel the financial loss only a little even if they lose a lot because...well, you can only be in one mansion at a time anyway... the rest of us will really struggle...

4)the republicans will tell eachother over and over that they had nothing to do with the financial crisis focusing only on the part that Fannie and Freddie played in it all (and of course their financial contributions to democrats...)until their talking points mutate into glorifying the very same economic philosophies that brought us all down in the first place, until they have convinced themselves we just need to privatize everything to see their glorious vision really shine in its purest form (up until now they say it has never had the chance to really succeed even in the countries where they made their guinea pigs...again, Chile etc)

show me one place in the world anywhere where this kind of Freidman economy works??

..bit of a disorganized rant...but I just don't think this will unfold well unless...unless... Obama is elected...then I feel really sorry for the mess he will barely be able to contain!
