If there is so much muck on the horizon, maybe it would be ok to NOT have the White House and Congress....At least this is a "just desserts" reward for Hillary unless the press can spin her recession into the greatest economic news of all time!

So the plot of this economic "Perfect Storm" would go something like this. An aging economy sets sail on a relatively tranquil economic sea, only to be beset with gale force headwinds of a tax increase, building seas from lower productivity growth, a hail-storm of Fed interest rate increases, and a final tidal wave of currency problems. As I said at the beginning, this isn't a forecast (or even a good movie plot), but it is something to think about, especially if you are running for president in 2008.

What happens in 2010 depends a lot on who we elect next year.

Why Would Anyone Want to Be President in 2010?

Because they'll be able to blame everything on Bush!
