There's no secret about what's coming. We don't have that excuse this time.

Here comes more fiscal recklessness -- as we widen the chasm between the
ultra-wealthy and everyone else, cementing a plutocracy into our national
fiber, we'll pay our national bills on the Treasury Bill credit card for
the next few years. Many economists expect a Brazil-like financial crisis
to hit the U.S. before the end of the decade. If we muddle our way though
the near term, we'll still have left our kids with the bill.

Here comes an expansion of the American empire abroad, a fueling of fear
and loathing elsewhere on the globe. This is also unsustainable in the end.
Empire breeds disrespect.

Our civil liberties will shrink drastically. This president and his top
allies in Congress fully support just one amendment in the Bill of Rights,
the Second Amendment's right to bear arms. Say goodbye to abortion rights
in most states. Roe v. Wade will fall after this president pushes three or
four Scalia and Thomas legal clones onto the Supreme Court. Say hello,
meanwhile, to a much more intrusive blending of church and state.

The environment? We'll be nostalgic for Ronald Reagan's time in office.

This is not sour grapes. This is reality.
