Obama is not about saving or improving the economy.Nothing he and the democrats have done thus far would remotely result in that. <br /><br />IMO, it is a deliberate attempt to tank the US economy, make people desperate and dependent on government for employment and the basic necessities and cement the current political dominance of Obama and the Democrats in place for a long, long time. <br /><br />Obama wants to 'remake' America in his own image. Being a neo-marxist, he realizes you have to tear down the existing structure first.Freedom Fighterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649470110087808596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-39971682801338671292009-08-03T11:32:54.890-07:002009-08-03T11:32:54.890-07:00It is my considered opinion that what happens when...It is my considered opinion that what happens when November 2010 comes around will depend to a large degree on how the economy is at that time. If it is doing as it is now or worse, the Democrats face a very uphill battle to retain control of Congress and they may even get trounced very badly. If the economy improves or there are definitive signs that it is about to improve, then the Democrats likely coast to victory and may even pick up additional seats in the House and Senate.<br /><br />While it is true that there is very little that the House, Senate, or the President can do to actually improve the economy, there are things they can do to make it worse. For example, during a time of recession you DO NOT increase taxes or Government spending. This is likely to only make things worse. As it is, this is precisely what the Democrats are doing. As such, this increases the odds that the economic situation will worsen and decreases their odds of getting reelected. <br /><br />Perhaps they plan to use the police and the military to maintain control. That formula has worked quite well in other countries. Can it work here? I don't think so but we may be finding out soon enough.B.Posternoreply@blogger.com
