What Will 2016 Bring?

I do not know, what will 2016 bring?
We have many economic and political issues that are troubling on both a state and national level.
We have massive amounts of unfunded long term debt in the State of Connecticut-anywhere from $60 to $80 billion dollars.  What is the plan to pay it off?
We have massive amounts of unfunded long term debt at the Federal level-anywhere from $19 to $50 trillion dollars.  What is the plan to pay it off?
We have a crisis in leadership at both in Hartford and Washington.  What are our elected leaders priorities?  In Connecticut, Hartford's Omnipotent One Party Rule seems to be focused on eliminating the working middle class through massive taxes and economic stagnation.  In Washington our current President has embarked on ramming down the throats of Americans a failing socialistic nightmare of ineffective and unwarranted federal laws and mandated programs that eliminate personal freedoms, increase the debt and further slam the working middle class into economic oblivion.  His foreign policy is incoherent and in my opinion has placed us on the verge of World War III due to its eight year apology tour of rhetoric and lies.
Are we better off than in 2008?  Are we better off than in 2010?  Are we better off than in 2012?  Are we better off than in 2014?  This has been a brutal eight years for those citizens of our state and nation who work for a living and pay taxes.  Can we survive in 2016?
I do not know, what will 2016 bring?  Up to this November more of the same - more lies, more taxes, more incoherent and costly federal and state laws, more slamming of the working middle class, more supposedly legal political donations in the hands of the ruling political elite.  More, more, more.
I do not know, what will 2016 bring?
Happy New Year from Swick Speak.
