Frankly, your optimism, while generally not warranted, is one of the reasons I read the blog. <br /><br />Now with that said SCOTUS judges always ask tough questions of EVERYONE, if for no other reason than to make it look good. Not sure why the analyst is panicing. One of two things will happen. 1.)We get Obamacare lock, stock, and barrell without any modifications. 2.)The judges toss out some minor portions of Obaamcare while leaving the monstrosity largely intact. Essentailly Mr. Obama gets what he wants regardless of 1 or 2 being the outcome. <br /><br />Once Obamacare passes the Surpeme Court, the US, which is already bankrupt, will now be in an even worse position. As a result of this, will the creditors and the world decide once and for all to end the dollar's role as world reserve currency? This was going to happen any way regardless how Obamacare went in the courts but such a move by SCOTUS will only hasten the process. <br /><br />The states are already having trouble paying their bills. Obamacare will only make things worse. What will the states do about this? Clearly they cannot afford this and I suspect they don't want to be pulled down with the sinking ship known as the United States. In many cases, their best bet would be to separate from the Union entirely and go their own separate ways. Any State leaders worth their salt should have a seccession plan on the table. What wil the federal government do in this case? How will the military act on this?<br /><br />These are all very difficult things to ascertain. If SCOTUS makes the right decision and strikes down Obamacare perhaps much of this can be avoided. I say "much of this" because the dollar's role as world reserve currency is all but over regardless of the outcome here. <br /><br />With the right leaderhsip America can emerge from this better and stronger than it was when it went in but it will require good leadership. Unfortunately good leadership is lacking in both the Republican and Democratic parties right now.B.Posternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-51010461310035158972012-03-27T16:06:58.152-07:002012-03-27T16:06:58.152-07:00nothing matters until the opinion is in. my money...nothing matters until the opinion is in. my money says hussein will call a couple of justices to the white house for consultations. just to make sure they have the correct opinion.louielouienoreply@blogger.com
