I encourage everyone to carefully scrutinize what occurs over the next few years and to see who gets all the pecuniary benefits. Of course, with the gridlock in place, the newbies will at least be able to try to shift blame as always. But watch what passes and what does not. In both cases, I think we'll see the same old corporatism and catering to deep pockets, while the working class is largely ignored or told to be patient and wait for the benefits to "trickle down."
