Given that I didn’t have this response to Bush’s performance, I think that Obama would have to do something worse than Bush did to elicit that level of response.
Invading Iran wouldn’t do it, since that’s the level of thing Bush did.
Nuking Gaza would probably do it.
Trading Hawaii & parts of California, Washington & Oregon to the chinese to pay off our debt to them would also likely not go over well in my thoughts.
Well, at the risk of turning this into GD:
The only part that I can see conceivably not being maxed out is the FDIC insurance guarantee (since dipping into that is the kiss of death for customers); businesses will have a way of grabbing all the free money they can and then complaining about how hard it’s to pay the loan off. Also, don’t forget, that subsidized loans in themselves are a run-up in taxpayer money that could otherwise be directed (e.g., interest on national debt). S&P, just two days ago, has hinted that the US may be downgraded from an AAA due to all this debt run-up… if that happens, watch out for a snowball of debt and taxpayer money, just like when someone deeply in debt has their interest rates jacked way up.
We aren’t seeing the end of this yet, and as long as there’s no end in sight, these programs are going to be ballooning at an exponential rate. It seems that economists looked at the Great Depression, and saw that FDR raised taxes and refused deficit spending. Then, they look at Sweden that did do deficit spending and sees that it is the first nation to recover in 1934. Conclusion: swing to the other extreme end of the pendulum and run up trillions in debt like crazy!
It’s insane.
It would solve the immigration crisis overnight, for one thing.
I can’t see how anyone can be a fan of “The Wire” and of the War on Drugs, and Obama is the former.
Which doesn’t fit and why?
