What Do You Expect the Federal Government will do Now?

Linda talks with a series of people about what their expectations are for the next four years, in light of yesterday's election. Some say it will be a turbulent time for the President, who will have to undergo tremendous scrutiny by a Republican-controlled Congress; others think that the President and the Congress will work together well and get a lot accomplished. There is concern about a potential downturn in the economy and that the federal deficit will increase again.
