The economy and the vote.
Now, political pontiffs are saying all things good for their affiliations.
Dems say:
"The market is up because of the feeling of confidence that Dems are going to sweep the election. And we'll see even better times."
That raises some valid questions for me that I thought I'd put here in hopes of getting some feedback.
-If the Dems do a sweep, will the economy really do even better? They're sure to change some aspects of the tax code, they will spend some money on their own special interests, and I'm sure that Iraq will begin to empty therefore putting some strain on social programs and other assistance services.
While I know it's time to pull out of the fiasco that has become Iraq, and our soldiers deserve to return home...will it help give security to the Democratic party '08 when the +/- 150,000 people get back here? I say this because most people evaluate the job done by government by the balance in their bank accounts. Sad truth. We all talk about how much we admire our soldiers, but when the pudding hits the pavement, our selfish nature screams "What about me?" at the gas pump, at the grocery store, and on April 15.
Reps say:
"The market is doing so well because George Bush's tax cuts have worked. People have more money to invest and put back into the system."
-If the reps keep the majority, won't the pain of the economy's eventual decline hurt even more? Sure it's been 7 years of hell getting to 12,000 on the DOW, and this time there is no "bubble" to speak of so it's a real advancement. But again, the spending in Iraq is out of control with no real results. And North Korea is going to fuck up...it's guaranteed.
And again the subject of soldiers coming home is eventual in the next 2 years. I honestly believe that the Administration and the War bastards are trying to make it happen without admitting failure. Now that the Iraqi government is pushing for a timetable, we can't deny them much longer.
Wouldn't a re-election of Reps. do them more harm than good in '08? Because right now, even though so much of the other issues are going to hell, people feel like they have money in their pockets and that's personal security....but in honesty, it's a fake security because it has to go down from here. There's no other way.
What do you think?
Is America going to make a good decision in '08? And how will this upcoming vote affect the public in '08?
Dems this year, Reps in '08? Do the hard part now and be disgruntled with it in '08?
Or will we value the money in our pockets and vote Rep this year only to be even further disgruntled over the economy's rapid decline in 2 years and vote Dem in '08
