Well, we learned today that the Master of the Regime will stop at nothing to make sure his Government takeover of Healthcare, auto industry, finance industry isn't stopped by State governments.

Unfortunately we elected the wrong "republican".

2011 will bring higher Federal taxes, higher state taxes and probably NOT a lowering of county taxes. All of those add up to less money in peoples pockets to spend, meaning less sales tax revenue for cities and counties....eww welcome to higher county and municipal taxes.

Boy the news gets better and better from hope and change government.
