There are certain things we can expect now that, as Bill Clinton said the other day, "people are thinking again", and have put a Democratic-controlled Congress in office. From a Craig Cantoni column:
Hallelujah! Now that Democrats have taken control of Congress, we can expect:• Gas prices to drop to $1.25, because Republicans will no longer be able to feather the nest of Big Oil with obscene profits.
• Cars to run on hydrogen, corn syrup and refried beans, because Republicans will no longer be able to control the laws of physics.
• The wage gap to become non-existent, because differences in intelligence, drive, determination, personal responsibility and common sense will be outlawed.
• Unemployment to drop to zero when the minimum wage increases to $22.35 per hour, because the demand for labor increases when the cost of labor increases, and not the reverse, as ignorant, mean-spirited Republicans had stupidly claimed.
• Test scores of below-average students to skyrocket to above-average levels, because Democrats will outlaw the Republican-invented Bell curve.
• The Dow to hit 18,000 in 2007, because it's an economic fact that the best way of growing an economy is to penalize risk-takers, innovators and the industrious.
• The price of medicine and health care to plummet, because it's another economic fact that when you give people free stuff, demand goes down.
