One hopes with the optimist. Yet experience says you are incorrect. Even if The One is not reelected, this country remains on a socialist path. Romney's not going to shrink government. Nor is any other republican.
Cutting funds for service is not shrinking the gov't. C'mon, no money for big bird is not downsizing. Regulation is the key. We need to cut back regulation on child labor laws, These little bastards need to get to work early and often, other wise they are never going to get out of debt. I hope these kids don't think I'm going to bail them out with a cutback in SS or my food stamp benes. Seriously, I didn't work all my life to live on Ramen noodles in my golden years. Go Romney....
Foreign policy is going to have to include monetary and economic policy and Obama was at a fund raiser during that session. Obama flunked domestic economics and now will have a chance to be a putz in rounds 2 and 3..
