There will be no significant revenue increases unless we can take over the House.

Most people think this is impossible under the current state of the districts. It takes 10 years to change that. The next real opportunity is 2022, and in order to do that, we have to control enough of the Governorships and state legislatures BEFORE the 2020 census.

As soon as you explain how that is going to happen, I will concede you know what you are talking about when you say "nothing is permanent".
