I have read your posts, and it sounds like you are doing great work at the local level. It is admirable. My guess is that the Economy for the middle class, and small business people is going to decay much more quickly over the next two years. There will be an emphasis on local communities for each community member. It is becoming obvious that the Federal and State govts are going to be more of a hindrance than a help.
I just consider politics in the current age (1988-present) as a tool pitting people against each other rather than concentrating on exactly how bad they are getting screwed.
Same goes with race, ethnicity, religion, and sexual persuation. I am sure this is not a complete list.
