You are granting this guy entirely too much credit. Even under communism what he's doing makes no sense.

What we have here is a very stupid man, totally devoid of any economic knowledge, and he is surrounded by an inferior collection of second and third-rate lawyers and political campaign staff people who just don't know how stupid they are.

It's like everybody in the Obama regime is like Leahy or Durbin.

I don't give this guy 6 months until something serious gives way and he's out of office.

The Federal Govt may only take 30% of GDP, but if you add in what the states and cities take in..we are getting to 45%, not far different than Europe.
The share is going to accelerate as the private sector shrinks under the weight of new taxes and lower revenues.

There are too many external and internal threats for Obama. The financial situation alone, and his response to it, are enough to sink him. His reaction to the external threats could sink the west. Consider:

North Korea is about to test an ICBM.

Iran is racing to assembly a nuclear bomb and delivery system. I do not believe Netanyahu will allow this to happen. That means a war in the middle east in the next 18 months at most.

Russia is trying to cut off supplies to the Allies in Afghanistan.

Pakistan is capitulating to the taliban.

Is that enough?

Maybe some judge will have enough gumption to find out that he was ineligible for the office in the first place. You never know when some judge will actually apply the law.

Hypothetically, in some hypothetical capitalist country with free and open elections, perhaps one strategy for an (hypothetical) evil person might be to cause as much economic damage as possible in order to create an artificial desire for this (hypothetical) person to fix the situation (especially if the "fix" involved confiscation of businesses, property and rights).

No one in mind, of course, just playing Alinsky's advocate.
