If that happens, the system will probably undergo big changes in the next several years, whether we like it or not.. I have no doubt we're going to see major changes and we probably need to. But I have a real problem with the way they're going about it -- A political process at a time when there is only one voice (the hard left) with the provision that "we MUST get this done in the next six months". I guess someone could argue that the only way to get something this big done is to have a party with so much power they can push through anything they want. But from my POV, this ought not be something that is shoved down American's throats on the basis of one-party rule. I see it as being a very dangerous way to proceed. In particular, given the wrong-headedness of some of the rhetoric coming out of the new administration, this really needs to be put off until after the next election where, perhaps, there is a chance of getting some kind of diversity of power in DC. IMO, of course.
