What if the economy recovers?

What if the WMD would actually be found? Such speculation is made despite the evidence going to the contrary. Its like the murder claim "yay, well I killed him, but what if he deserved it?" The economy is not recovering. And it is not going to recover.

There is SO MUCH stimulus working its way through the economy right now that a recovery is virtually guaranteed in my view.

This "stimulation" is nothing more than a tax cut. Its not stimulating any thing other than GOP fundraising.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the markets up 20-30% from today's levels by next Nov...unemployment down to 5.5%--mortgage rates still at 30 year lows. I'm sorry, but there is no way to stop this dead cat from bouncing...We will be booming in 18 months, so planning an entire strategy around "the economy" as an issue is not gonna work.

Little more than wishful thinking. But I love how you cap it with the following.

The DEBT, on the other hand isn't going anywhere. This recovery is built on borrowed dollars, on the personal and federal level. The debt will not disappear by elections, and I think it most definately is a weak spot for dumbya and co.

LOL. Your whole arguments seems to resemble the claim that a square wheal roles just as smoothly as a round one, so long as you ignore the bumps. The debt and budget deftest are examples of these bumps, and have a far greater cost than you might imply. I remind you that all 50 states are also looking at deficits, and don't have the luxury of running in to the red. Sense many of these states are run by Republicans, or have sufficient republican presence to filibuster tax bills, to oppose on a philosophical level (logic be dammed) even a token increase on taxes, save those born by the poor (such as sin taxes, court fees, and sails taxes.). They have no chouse but to cut vital services such as police and education. And cut funds given to counties so that THEY will have to raise taxes.

The economy is not, nor no where near, recovering. Rising unemployment is NOT a sign of a recovery as Repugs would spin it as. It’s a sign of a worsening economy.
