I fully expect that a Romney administration would open both the fiscal (i.e., military and other handouts) and monetary spigots.

But (1) the fiscal spending will be exactly in the wrong places and done via costly trade offs, especially for social security, (2) I can't accept the rest of the crap that an unconstrained Republican government would do, and (3) Romney will be as bad or worse on the police state issues.

If I thought the Dems would take both houses of congress, I might be more open to it, but that isn't going to happen, while the opposite might.

I'm with you 98%. The 2% is that I'm less troubled by the drone strikes, though that may be because I see them as a cool add-on to the next version of Call of Duty-Modern Warfare.
