Last night, I had a dream vision. Yes, really. This was not something that I wanted to see or dream. I had a nice day with our grandson, wrote some, read some, played with Jack, and had a nice time over all with daughter, grandson and wife. Saw a wonderful film about WWI, Flyboys. Went to bed and for awhile, turned and tossed. Slept or was in a Rem time of dozing. All of a sudden, REALLY. I saw the end of the election period and Obama won. That was bad enough, but I saw, yes saw, the First 100 Days of his reign. Here, as I remember, what he did. He first issued Executive Orders undoing those of Bush. He then sent about 200 jurist choices to the Senate Judiciary Com. because Bush had not had action from Harry Reid on some of his choices. That left those offices open. The new President then sent the House and Senate his new tax hikes which was literally in the billions. They closed all loopholes for corporations. They raised taxes on individuals making 50,000 dollars and above. Oil companies were pointed out for new taxes. There were no new ideas on drilling, in fact, the President reiterated that there would be no drilling, no nuclear plants, no coal. He told the House that he was for a repudiation of the Fairness Doctrine. And as to international relations, Iraq was to end in 24 months no matter how the war was going. And immediately, his Admin. was to meet with Chavez, Iran, N.Korea. The fact that taxes were in the forefront of my dream-vision, means probably that taxes are my bete noir. I woke up this AM, told Katy about this vision, and began to write. I fear this guy. I really do. I see an end to the America that our heritage, culture and history has pointed to. He really is an agent for change. But, the change is I fear, one which looks very much like all the failed socialist idealism that has haunted Africa, Asia, Lating America and Europe for over 100 years. I really do now think that this guy will be elected. I am glad that I am retired and pray that his policies will not erase my IRA's, my mutual funds, for Katy and I depend on them for our lifeline and lifestyle. With this new President, liberty and freedoms as Americans have known them, especially for the majority of producers and innovators will be constricted. I am not nearly so optimistic as I was when Ronald Reagan was elected. And I do not think I will see another optimistic American leader or nation in the time that I have left on this earth.
