re: #118 danarchy

There has been an awful lot of talk from people in the financial industry that we are possibly headed for another recession. Drudge had that overwrought headline about the world economy entering a death spiral, while that was sensationalism, there are a lot of reasons to be concerned. We all know that these things are cyclical and in reality there isn’t a whole lot the president can do to affect it. My worry is if we do go into recession again sometime before the election it will actually be a big boost for whoever the republican nominee is simply because they are not the party currently in the oval office.

That’s true. I guess my point is I’m tired of hearing from the party whose policies were clearly unwise i.e. tax cuts and two wars that they’re the fiscally responsible ones and Dems are just tax and spend. But you are right. A poor economic situation always does that to the party out of office even if they have no crediblity.
