The Wall Street Journal has a very good editorial
outlining federal policies that we likely would see if current polls
hold. In discussing the impact of the election, they argue:
“Though we doubt most Americans realize it, this would be one of
the most profound political and ideological shifts in U.S. history.
Liberals would dominate the entire government in a way they haven’t
since 1965, or 1933. In other words, the election would mark the
restoration of the activist government that fell out of public favor in
the 1970s. If the U.S. really is entering a period of unchecked
left-wing ascendancy, Americans at least ought to understand what they
will be getting, especially with the media cheering it all on.”
The op-ed then goes on to explain what we would be getting.
Lowlights include:
– Union card check
– Cap and Trade
