2. If everything that can conceivably go wrong does, it will be very bad for Democrats...
That's the nature of being in power.

Just to more quickly get to the conceptual end of the road on this line of questioning.

3. It means an aggressive and rejuvenated Republican campaign in 2010
Either health care reform with a strong public option passes in September, or it doesn't pass at all.

5. Looking ahead a little bit, just 2-5 years, our country is on track
to implode...The economics indicators really don't look good. Big/macro level things like savings rates, mortgages under water, unemployment rates...etc.

We have two chances to somewhat correct this course:

1) Raise taxes to much higher levels
2) Health Care reform (including Medicare & Medicaid)

If these two items don't get implemented/fixed RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nothing can save us! Debt and self destruction is going to wipe us out.
