So what now? Do we awake this Monday morning with Tea Party America in full swing, with the Republicans preparing to slash government into submission to right-wing ideology? Or will reality prevail, with some perspective on what last Tuesday meant, and with Obama and the Democrats figuring out that appeasement doesn't do them or the country any good at all? Whatever the case, it doesn't help that with a government of, by, and for the people, the people want everything at the cost of nothing. No wonder things look so bleak.
