The increase in the pain and suffering of people is going to be terrible. We're going back in time 100 years during the Gilded Age when the plutocrats controlled everything. The workers worked under the most terrible conditions and for slave wages. They had no protection for safety or anything else and they were completely abused. And they bled to form unions to protect them.

And before Social Security and Medicare abject poverty was pervasive, especially among older women. We're going back to those days as the Republicans start to destroy the social safety net. They may even go after Social Security and Medicare.

They will cut the taxes on the rich dramatically which will increase the deficit dramatically and give them an excuse to cut more social programs. If you have family or friends on Obamacare with pre-existing conditions, they will lose that. And medical expenses will start to rise again dramatically as will prescription drugs. They will replace it with nothing.

On top of all of that, day in and day out we're going to have to watch the president make enemies around the world, and put us in dangerous situations whether confronting China stupidly in the South China Sea, or getting in a tiff with Putin, and god only knows what else.

The middle class, like us will be better able too defend ourselves, but even we will be affected. I'm scared and apprehensive because I studied history and history tells a story of the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse that are about to descend on us.
