My Fear Is That The Rethugs Will Do Something To Tank The Economy Between Now & 2016......

[global1]

to really piss of the American People and blame the Dems for it and then run on taking back the White House to turn it around and save us. Am I being silly thinking like this?

I'm close to retirement and am worried about the retirement money I have in my IRA's. Should I put it in cash for the time being?

1. Me, too, very close to retirement. WTF will they do to sabotge it all?

[unblock]

2. they can't really do that without the presidency in that time frame.

my real fear is losing the white house in 2016. if that happens, republican will undoubtedly keep both houses of congress as well, along with the supreme court.

*that* is a recipe for some major, major damage to the american economy.

3. Put it in t-bills Mc Turtle says no government

shut downs and no debt limit games

7. I hope . . .

You don't seriously believe him.

8. Well I think he wants to win the presidency in

2016 and that means holding the tea party nut cases at bay so independents will vote repub.

4. Problem: If that happens, it will be a republican bill with republican votes.

How will they blame the Democrats for that? Nobody fell for "you-forced-us-to-shut-down-the-government" the last time and nobody will fall for it next time.

6. We Have A Dem In The WH Now That They Manage To Blame Everything That Happens On...

from Benghazi, ISIS, Ebola, and they are always talking about his failed policies without ever saying what they are. They have made overtures in the past to impeach him. Despite all the good economic indicators that are showing that we have climbed out of the recession that BushCo put us into - I can imagine that somehow they would find a way to blame this President and the Dems on a faultering economy that they can somehow fabricate. They have the banksters, the 1%'ers and the Corps in their back pockets to help them - and Wall Street manages to make money no matter what happens on the backs of people like you and I.
