If Obama wins reelection, do you wish the current recession to continue?

[Antonio the Sixth]

What kind of person, exactly, do you think is going to vote yes?

There's already 2 yes votes, and 4 no votes.  Apparently somebody does, not saying it's a good idea.  My point of the poll, if people still vote for Obama, do they not care enough about fiscal issues, and believe an Obama 2nd term will turn the US around after the last 4 years?  It's self evident that we're in a stagflation economy and it's only getting worse.

You. Fail. Economics. Forever.

Uh, No! But I sadly believe we might

Why? do you have any proof that it will?

Of course! It is scientifically proven than reelecting Kenyan Muslim Socialists in office generates a 5% drop in GDP within 23 days following election day.

"another" implies we actually ever got out of the last one.

Your question is improperly phrased... should be "do you wish the current recession to continue..."

Do you know what a recession means? Sorry if economic data doesn't fit your talking points...

technically defined,  a recession as two consecutive quarters of decline in GDP.

By this arbitrary standard, the US left the recession 3 years ago.

If you take a more realistic definition that actually reflects peoples lives, which is GDP per capita, the nation is still in recession as GDP growth has been less than population growth.

This is consistent with the $4300 per family DROP in median family income reported by BLS since Obama has become President.

Are you kidding? You're saying that the US population has grown by about 2% per year in the past 2 years? If so, the US is headed for a demographic boom.

As for the median income, of course it has dropped. The median income has been stagnating in the past 30 years, even in times of growth, because all this growth went to the wealthier. You can thank Reagan for that.
