I said this to a neighbor in 1995.  Now that the elites don't fear the USSR, they'll try to take back everything.

And they are, in spectacular fashion, viz. the budget bill before the US House of Representatives, which contains $50 billion in cuts to health care and social services ("Because we can't afford it") and $70 billion in tax cuts for millionaires.  

Hey! Look over there!  Terrists!
