Before you know it, it will be election 2016...

The economy will be doing better than it is today. The deficits will have stabilized. We will be almost energy independent. The unemployment rate will be just under 5%. People will feel good about the direction our country is going. Very few people will be uninsured. Americans will finally have recovered from the Great Recession of 2008.

And it will be time for another Republican in the White House. Once again taxes will be cut beyond the threshhold and we will see huge deficits once again. Unemployment will go up. Wages will go down. More and more will be spent on defense and we will find ourselves back into another war. The pattern that we have seen over and over for 40 years will repeat itself. The Republicans will find a way to screw up everything once again. It's as predictable as the sun coming up tomorrow.
