Well, if people think electing Romney will fix an ailing economy, they are in for a nasty surprise. They ain’t seen nothing yet.

Romney’s plan to gut social spending, medicare and education will have horribly expensive consequences and devastate the tax base. Combined with repealing health care coverage means that preventative care will be traded in for long term disease and costly medical emergencies, lost work, debt and bankruptcies. Any budget savings will go to increased military spending, probable war with Iran, rescinding the Afghanistan pullout, an arms race necessitated by more belligerent relations with Russia, and thousands more veteran amputees and traumatic brain injuries we’re obligated to take care of for decades into the future.
