Conservatives, you have the floor. For better or worse, this is your government. You can pass whatever you want. You can win any Supreme Court case you want. There are no external checks and balances, nothing to blame, nothing to hide.
Last quarter GDP growth was 2.9%. Unemployment was 4.9%, underemployment was 12.9%. 14.5% live below the poverty line. Median household income is $51,939. Inflation is 1.5%. A dollar is worth .92 Euros, .80 pounds, 106 Yen, 6.8 Yuan, 19.9 pesos, 63.8 Rubles. We have a trade deficit of $39.47B, a deficit of $587B, and a debt of $22.2T. Gold is going for $1276, silver for $1845. The DOW is at 18,589, NASDAQ at 5,251, S&P at 2163. The President has an approval rating of 56%.
Whatever happens to those numbers in the next 4 years is the complete result of conservative policy. If they improve, it was the conservatives in the House, in the Senate, in the Supreme Court, in the Presidency, in 30 governorships and a majority of the state houses nationwide. If they decline, it was because of those same conservatives.
View this as an opportunity to finally prove that conservative economics and governorship is the one true path for the United States to succeed. And if that doesn't happen, don't blame the powerless liberals that most likely won't even have filibuster power. Don't blame Obama, whose policies can be wholly repealed. Don't blame minorities for failing to cooperate or for stealing jobs. Own it.
In a year, if I remember I will take another look at these numbers. We can only pray they go in the direction conservatives want.
