When unemployment goes above 30% in Detroit next spring, rioting will begin there and spread to other cities (think 1960's). Eight years of "tax cuts" and ignoring the needs of the poor citizen (not just the voters) will result in needless death, destruction and chaos for all. There is not a system in-place that hasn't been defunded to contain a nationwide riot...the police and military are made up of these same suffering people....
The health care reform failure will be the proverbial straw [that broke the camel's back] for these unemployed people to deal with. To privately insure a family of five, is more than maximum unemployment compensation pays out in a month. You can do the math....they will be pissed and really have no options....
There is not much old, rich [predominantly white] people can do to keep a power grip on the country and this situation much longer.
I don't see anyway around this eventuality. The jobs are simply not there anymore, and will not be returning. Healthcare is something that you cannot wave around in someones face when they have a sick or dying child. You used to have it, but now you don't. The writing is on the wall for anyone willing to look.
I just dread the thought of having my family live through it. The future is bleak, and was created by 20 years of republican (and a few democrats) control.

A wishful image
A conjunction of the words "wrecked decade", the years 2000-2010. A period in which the Republicans, with the support of 50% the voting American electorate, nearly (or possibly) destroyed the United States of America. Everything sucked; music, movies, and culture in general.
