Okay, it could happen, right?


I am not asking you to predict who the President is, only the direction of the nation under Republican leadership.

What changes would we see for public servants: Firemen, Police, Teachers?

What would Healthcare become?

How about infrastructure: Roads/Highways, Gov't. buildings, National & State Parks, Public lands?

Gov't. regulations by: EPA, FDA, DEA?

What would become of prisons by private contractors?

What about social issues: Gay marriage, Abortion, Marijuana?

International relations: Cuba, Syria, Israel, France, China, our borders?

Free College tuition? Immigration? The Dreamers? The Banking industry? The big drug companies? Space Exploration? Gitmo?

So much to consider.

Feel free to pick any area listed or add any you feel should be included. State your predictions. We all have ideas, they don't need to be backed up by facts and name calling is ridiculous and unnecessary since obviously none of us can see the future.

What will be different?

I will predict that the GOP will pretty much do what the Democrats have done...

Line their own pockets

Jump in once every 6 months or so and pass some kind of bill to keep the peasants from rioting.

Travel all over the world, taking 2/3/4 week vacations in prime vacation spa's and charge it all to the people..

IF they do what Obama has done, they will begin campaigning (probably already have) non stop and claim that it is all fact finding trips....

In other words,,, I do not expect much of an improvement over the last 6 years..

Mike

Hyper-deregulation and privatization, leading to another financial bubble and collapse, slashing of food stamps and welfare programs and unemployment benefits, slashing of infrastructure spending, all leading to a long economic depression as the consumer class' spending power is crushed and the middle class is finally destroyed.

I certainly wish all this WOULD happen, but I don't think any of it would lead to a long economic depression as you say. Please explain why the exact opposite of what you said here has been going on for the last six years (more regulation, less privatization, more food stamps, more welfare programs and unemployment benefits), and we DO have a long economic depression.

Um, not sure where you've been for the last few decades. Every time Republicans take over they cause economic recessions or depressions. It took until last year to recover from the Bush economic recession of 2008-2010. Now the Repubs want a repeat, as they try to dismantle Dodd Frank and let Wall Street do the same catastrophic antics yet again.

When should the Obama stop printing worthless money?
When the current bubble bursts,will the democrats own it?
Are you implying that we have recovered?

Unfortunately, many in the low information demographic just fail to understand basic economics! It's a trait of liberalism.

What are you talking about? When did the Republicans ever take over and cause a recession or depression? You are calling the recession of 2008 - 2010 a "Bush" recession? The President was Obama and both branches of Congress were Democratic. Whose recession is that? For most of the eight years Bush was in office, the U.S. had the largest economic boom in its history. Record low unemployment, highest wealth creation ever, extremely high growth in the Gross Domestic Product. Because we had a downturn in the last three months of Bush's presidency, people try to paint that as some sort of absolute failure. I will take that any day over what we have now.

Like I said in my post, the last six years of Obama have seen more regulation, less privatization, more food stamps, more welfare, and more unemployment benefits. And what has this done for our economy?

You might want to learn your history. Obama took office in January 2009, in the midst of the Bush recession that started in 2007. 600,000 jobs were being lost each month. The huge Wall Street financial and real estate bubble was created when Bush deregulated Wall Street and mortgage lending in 2002 and 2003. The bubble built up 2003 to 2007 and then collapsed. Obama didn't come into office until 2009 and the first year that he had any influence on the federal budget was 2010. You can't reasonably blame Obama for that recession, unless you are supremely delusional or dishonest.

The Democrats were in power in 2008-2010, the bubble was caused by Democrat housing policy and fortified by the Reps...they BOTH are responsible for the crash.
