Of course, I'd argue that you're likely wrong, but at least your consistent there.The reality of the situation is all a matter of expectations. I seriously doubt anyone could do much better than Obama in the current situation. Obama is playing the best game he can with a really shitty hand. There are deep structural (demographic) problems built into the economy, and there are things that threaten the economy that are beyond Obama's control (Europe). The things that theoretically could be done to truly fix thing would neither be immediate nor are possible politically (such as admitting anything from HBD). I'm not even sure an infrastructure stimulus could help. There is little by way of fixing the problems at this point, but I can tell you for damn sure that there is no way Romney will help. |
