Undoing the Damage

Lots of folks are talking about the fall elections and the GOP winning majorities in one or both houses of Congress. What few seem to remember is that this will not enable the GOP to undo the damage already done by the Dems, at least not in the short run.

If the GOP should win majorities in both houses this November, they are unlikely to have enough votes to override an Obama veto. So, the most a GOP majority will be able to accomplish between now and January, 2013, is to forestall further mischief.

The mischief already accomplished by the Dems will sit there festering in the body politic for a minimum of two years, and maybe longer. The public will have that long to get used to the health care "reform" bill and whatever other bad things the Dems manage to push through between now and January, 2011.
