well, in all fairness, clinton did try to ram another super-entitlement up our asses... but he wasn't able to. So ya gotta give credit where credit is due.I wonder since everyone thinks that Mitt with a republican congress will save the nation but, I have a feeling that nothing will change and the debt will be 20 Trillion or maybe I'm just crazy.
No, you actually bring up a cogent, albeit Machiavellian, political point.
The most optimistic economic forecasts dont see the housing market improving for at least another ten years; and unemployment will remain high until that market recovers.
It would be better for republicans in the long run for Obama to win a second term (however subjectively distasteful), virtually guaranteeing the GOP the WH come 2016/2017. By 2020/2021 the economy will have certainly recovered, and the incumbent republican president will win e-election accordingly.
If the economy doesnt improve significantly by 2016, which is most likely the case, then a president Romney serves only one term, with a democratic president reaping the political benefit of a future economic recovery.
Kind of like Clinton after Regean, of course a republican congress drug him into prosperity..
thanks monica!!!
