Predictions
To the editor:
Bang the drum slowly.
In the next four years:
- Another war with (pick one): Syria, Iran, North Korea.
- Thirty percent (or more) reductions in Social Security benefits for those due to retire in the next five to 10 years.
- Across-the-board major cuts in social service and public health programs.
- Further shifting of the tax burden to the poor and middle class, such as by a “flat tax” or national sales tax.
- Erosion of Roe v. Wade.
And so on …
Clip this list and keep score at home.
