IMHO...
Romney and Perry are in bed with big business to such an extent that they would very much resist dramatic downsizing of the government, even if it was pushed by a theoretical Tea Party-controlled Senate and House. Back room pressuring would cause the draconian cuts that are needed to be too watered down to be effective.
Therefore, there would be little decline in the U.S. regulatory nightmare that shackles business, and correspondingly the only benefits to the economy that would be attributable to their hypothetical Presidencies would be a boost in the Dow and consumer confidence. After two or three years, reality would have long set in that the underlying problem of massive Federal debt was not going away any time soon. Government borrowing necessitated by continuing deficits, along with the unceasing regulatory burdens and individual rights usurpation by the Feral government would wind up producing an economy that basically treaded water.
As events around the world unfold in a very negative way, proceeding “business-as-usual” is a very unwise path for American government to take over the next few years, which will be fraught with dangerous pitfalls politically, economically and militarily. Significantly paying down the Feral debt, that is, running annual Feral government surpluses on the order of $1 trillion, is of paramount importance and can not be stressed enough.
I like your analysis. Does this put you in the Palin column?
