Thank you Georgia!

Republican U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss beat back a prolonged challenge from Democrat Jim Martin on Tuesday to win a second term in office

Chambliss’s victory means Republicans now will have at least 41 votes in the upper chamber, enough to stop major legislative initiatives by the Democratic majority in the U.S. Congress.
While I'm optimistic about Obama and his "Change" I would rather not have either party rummaging through my wallet totally unchecked.

A little balance is a good thing.

Without a fillibuster proof senate majority there is a very good chance that the Republican Party will stall any meaningfull legislation that will help clean up this mess. Do you really think they want to see Obama succeed?

You're proceeding from the perspective that government legislation is the way to fix this problem.

I'd rather see the market sort itself out.

Yes. I'd allow Ford, GM, Citi, AIG, etc.. to stand (or fail) on their own.

On the bail-outs I agree. However, legislation is needed to correct the policies of the Republican controlled Congress and the Republican President that got us in to this mess in the first place. The market sorting itself out? Ain't gonna happen. Capitalism is like fire. Useful when controlled, but devastating when let loose with no constraints.
