I think you will be singing a different tune by the beginning of next year after the asset bubble bursts.
We will only have the Central bankers to thank.
Not so sure of the timing on that bubble burst.
IF Trump wins it will likely be next year as the Fed has always delayed popping bubbles till they had a GOP POTUS in place to do it.
IF Hillary wins, unlikely, but if she does, then it will eventually break still, but it might take 5 to 8 years instead.
You could be right.
OTH, they popped the housing one right before Bush left office.
I think they did that for one very good reason.
COG (Continuation of Government) protocals that went into place right after 9/11 are still technically in effect. This means we aren't actually using the constitution. They wanted to make sure that congress would pass the emergency measures that would make the nation run the way the wanted it to, and give them the authority to do the things they wanted to do.
If congress didn't comply, then Bush could always suspend the election and make sure that no asshole would enforce the wishes of the people.
The same principle could apply here.
In fact, I was tossing around in my head starting a poll here on USMB, but I detest starting threads. Starting threads implies that. . . well, I care or something. This whole shit show is beyond everyone's control. I'm only here to wake people the **** up and get them thinking.
However, here is what I was thinking. Is it possible the Deep State has actually manipulated the process so that we have two such shitty candidates, and blown smoke up everyone's ass so much, that the brainless would actually prefer that this POTUS remain in power?
I don't remember a time, not since Reagan? That probably more of the population would just rather forget the election and keep Obama in office.
So if he declared martial law over an economic meltdown, would over half the nation care?
I don't think more than a majority would rather have Hillary or Trump at the helm. Do you?
