Yep, one of the more interesting sidelights about the results of yesterday's election will be that the new conservative majority in the House will not agree to a bailout of the various state and local governments that have bankrupted themselves though foolish spending practices, especially the lavish coddling of the public sector unions to gain and retain the political dominance of the democratic party. Hopefully, a conservative majority in the House will mean that California, among others, will have to learn to manage their own finances, even if that includes bankruptcy.

This is one area where I expect the union dominance of the Democratic party will insist that the lame duck session of the Congress "perform their perverted duty" under the radical liberal agenda and pass a massive federal bailout for California and other states in similar straights. I fully expect them to pass such a bill despite the clear statement the American people against both bailouts and the radical liberal agenda as espoused by obama and his congressional compatriots, pilosi and reid.

The conservatives will not be able to even exert any influence on such a move much less block its implementation. But they will be able to expose the dangers of it, and fan the public flames of anger against the Liberal Dems. Luckily, once the new conservative majority is installed, the Constitution demands that all spending bills must originate in the House, so if we were to only control one house in Congress, the House is the one we would choose.

May the newly elected conservatives stay true to the hopes of those who elected them and never compromise their principles for political expedience.
