“I fear the coming of what I call the Four Horsemen of Obamanomics: 1) increased protectionism, 2) more union power, 3) higher taxes on investors and wealthy entrepreneurs, and 4) more regulation of business and Wall Street.”

“Studies show that the most dangerous time in American history has been when one party (whether Democrat or Republican) controls all levels of government. One party control means the worst kind of big government, huge deficits, tax hikes, and even war. Every one of the major wars involving America occurred during one-party rule: World Wars I and II, Korea, Vietnam, and the latest in Iraq.”

“Divided government and gridlock is best, but for the next two years we will have one party control. Be prepared for a lot of bad legislation.”
