Lets say the Rominee wins in November. The GOP isn't gonna have a filibuster proof majority in the Senate, and the Tea Party is gonna be pushing Romney, so Dems aren't gonna vote for Romney's bills. If Romney does win, what exactly is he ACTUALLY gonna be able to do with a democrats in congress against everything he tries and Tea Partiers pushing him to the right. What exactly does a Romney Term look like, and no BS about how him just being President will encourage businesses to hire.
A filibuster majority isn't likely but not out of the question. I don't think the tea party will ever have the effectiveness in Washington D.C. that is has in red states and red districts. Democrats didn't vote for Bush's bills with the exception of No Child Left Behind and the Medicare Reform Act. Now Bush didn't get alot of his agenda done but he still got some of it passed. Him being president will encourage businesses to hire but unless we do something about the corporate tax and minimum wage, we'll never see jobs return from overseas. It's just not as profitable to keep a business here anymore. In fact, the only reason we saw a slightly promising economy running up to the 2010 midterm election is because people figured that the Republicans were going to take over at least one if not both houses. Anyone who has been successful and held a private sector job without a union knows that Obama is everything that will destroy our economy. It won't turn around overnight or become perfect without some changes being made so please don't say that I'm suggesting everything will be fine once Obama is out. Also if we're ever going to get our nation off the ground again we need to stop blabbering about higher education at the political level so that voters support politicians and we need to start encouraging vocational schools for trades. There's workers who make 16-20 an hour with their skills who never went to college and then you have people with Ph.D's in philosophy who can't hold a job at McDonald's. But, oh higher education we have to have that because it's not cool in America unless you go to college and have a white collar job........... That last part was my sarcasm. Sorry if I went overboard and feel free to break down disagreements or ask questions.
Please explain how "Obama is everything that will destroy the economy". It's almost as if he has supernatural powers....
I've already explained it above. Obama stands for higher taxes than the Republicans do which takes money out of the private sector which goes to Washington D.C. and is then redistributed to people who don't work. Now if tax payers could keep more of their own money they could hire those who are unemployed. Let's say the tax payers spend it on something else for themselves. No problem there because where they spend the money will create jobs. My point being that at some point down the line having more money in the private sector will create jobs. All Obama does for the economy is scare companies into going overseas by supporting higher wages and taxes while at the same time complaining about everyone who has done well on their own.
But wouldn't giving money to the unemployed also help the economy since they will go out and spend that money. Many taxpayers would save that money which isn't as good for the economy as spending.
