*** Sure, let's give 4 more years to the man who presided during the time when the country actually lost jobs! ***

The economy of the US moves in cycles. These cycles are measured in years due to it's enormous size. The highs and lows of the economy will vary over a specific period and they rarely reflect the accomplishments or blunders of the sitting president. For better or for worse, a sitting president will have "inherited" the current economy from his predecessor. The seeds of our latest recession were sown long before Bush came into office.

*** And obviously the mountain of debt doesn't disturb you. ***

I said that? Where?

*** Guess we'll just grow our way out of it like we did under that other great fiscal conservative, Ronald Reagan. ***

If history is any indication, we probably will grow our way out of it. Remember, as the economy grows, the need for new jobs grows, as the number of new jobs grows, the amount of tax revenue grows, as the tax revenue grows, the debt will decline (as long as spending is controlled and fiscally sound.)

*** But you're right, the American public will probably re-elect the guy as it has no appreciation for the profound implications that such irresponsible and reckless fiscal mismanagement has for the next generation. ***

You're close. He will be re-elected but the votes will come from the right (obviously) and the moderates. Those who have "no appreciation for the profound implications that such irresponsible and reckless fiscal management has for the next generation" will be voting for their favorite democrat.

Prosperity is right around the corner. Embrace it, comrade.  ;-))
