Well the "50% that don't matter" would be driven homeless as the floodgates are open for the influx of needed "skilled foreign labor" for the perceived professional educated workforce "shortage" i.e. corporations stopped training Americans continuing the offshoring Bain capital took a part of during Bush's terms. Obamacare well repealed but at the same time big pharma free to run rampant with new ritalin and ssri drugs skyrocketing the base health care costs even further. easier tax haven efforts and offshored corporate assets. there would be a new black colored gated Mormon church built near the White House. More paintings re-arranged and more masonic symbols.
Can't say about the economy... But perhaps America wouldn't be on the path to becoming a Muslim, Socialistic, shithole.
Define "A better economy" If you are feeling down and you go out and spend way more money than you have on stuff you dont need, then yeah, you'll feel like you are doing pretty good. Come next month when you have to pay the piper, you are going to be feeling a WHOLE lot worse than if you just paid off your debt before you went on that feel good spending spree. With Romney, we probably would've tackled that debt a little bit. With Obama he just kept the party going. Romney wanted to give us the bad tasting medicine to make us healthy again. Obama gave us heroin to make us FEEL better, but make us even more sick, possibly even kill us.
I am not sure what to think on who would have done a better job! What I am starting to believe is it really does not matter who wins. It is always the same people that have been behind the scenes causing the mess. Leaders raiding everything and the people below them trying to fix their messes. It dose not matter who wins, because the house and senate are the old guard. On top of that if you run for a position of power it takes money to get there and that means owing BIG favors (we all favor our family and friends first). For example a few months ago they voted on allowing politicians being allowed to trade on inside information. I don't know the exact number but that Bill took something like under 20 seconds to pass the House, Senate and Presidency. Not a single "Nay"! What do you think that is going to attract in the future elections? What scares me is there is no real long term goals. It seems to have turned into a churn em and burn em economy. Or as one reporter put it "The Gotcha Ya Economy". The people have long lost any power and the ones in charge can't seem to look past today! Get what you can, while you can, and screw everything else. That works for day trading but not investing! I could be seeing things the wrong way as I have many times before!
About the only thing I like about Republicans is that they get it that lowering taxes will increase revenue for the Public Sector. Had Romney won the world economy would be booming right now.
Doesn't matter - major BONDHOLDERS control the direction of the U.S. economy, NOT the 'corporate' President. Too simple of an explanation for your Idiot Box-infused heads?
