Because after '11, they start the handouts to the middle class... buying their win in late '12.

With taxes going up, unemployment high, economy stagnant, health care benefits reduced, handouts to the middle class will not overcome the anger they have against politicians. You are seeing that in political races today and it's only going to get worse. Kick the bums out is what most Americans want. More jobs and a better economy will change their attitude not money. I am not going to be thrillled with that chicken-shit $250 S.S. payment Congress is talking giving me when my Medicare premium is going up and Fed Inc Tax is going up.

Not only that, the Dems want you to "take a pill" rather than have state-of-the-art medical treatments.

The crapped up mess the democrats and 0bama have created by now will NOT be fixable in 1.5 years.
We ain't seen nothing yet - it's gonna get a lot worse by November 2012.

It is bad enough now; I am hopeful that it will not get worse. However, Obama is doing everything in his power to make it worse. More taxes and more spending will kick those in the ass that want to start a new business or expand. The chances of the economy recovering under these insane policies are pretty bleak.

Not sure it will take nearly that long... We are facing, in some cases, up to 20-25% increases in taxes come January. That's going to drive a huge wedge between all businesses and growth... Going to be ugly.

Add to that what may happen w/ Cap and tax, and the predictions of a decent to total collapse next year could be true. December will tell all - if people start yanking their money out of the market to avoid the massive cap gains tax increase, we'll be done for.

A good chunk of Porkulus isn't slated to be spent until next year, but it won't be enough.

No, if the Dems win in November and 2012, it's because people are too retarded to friggin live.
