Voters Expect Economy to Improve With Romney as President

By Katie Pavlich

For months Mitt Romney has focused his presidential campaign around the failing economy and his message seems to be resonating with voters. A new Rasmussen Report shows voters expect the economy to get better if Mitt Romney wins in November.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only 34% of Likely U.S. Voters think the economy is likely to get better if President Obama is reelected and Democrats regain full control of Congress, marking little change from early July when the two sides ran nearly even. By comparison, 43% now believe the economy is likely to improve if Romney wins and the GOP is in charge of Congress. That’s up seven points from 36% in the previous survey.

Sixty-two percent (62%) are more pessimistic about the economic impact if the president and his party in Congress win the election, with 41% who expect the economy to get worse and 21% who say it will stay about the same.

Fifty-two percent (52%) paint a similar picture if the Republican challenger wins and the GOP takes over Congress, including 37% who think the economy is likely to worsen and 15% who feel it will stay about the same.

obama says there are 2 TRILLION DOLLARS sitting on the sidelines, waiting for him to be gone. He wants people to think that business men have this money sidelined because they want obama to fail.

BULLSPIT!!

This money, IF it exists, is sidelined because business dont take bad bets, and that is what they think investing in the obama economy is.

Let me give an analogy that obama voters, lots of them, can understand better. Lets say there is a guy, he says that IF you will invest 10 grand, he’ll go buy REEFER, and transport it back to your town, and sell it. You can double your money in a week. the thing is though, this guy has been busted many times before, the cops watch him like a hawk, and you are afraid he’ll get caught, and YOU will lose your 10 grand.

THAT is the same way that business people feel about investing in the obama economy. obama has the same record of FAILURE that this guy has, and business people aint in it to lose money.

obama says two trillion dollars are on the sidelines waiting for him to be gone. IF Romney wins, this money will come FLOODING in, and start to lift the economy I think, the day after he becomes the official president elect. TWO TRILLION is MORE dollars that the stimulus, and with and added benefit, of NOT having to be judged as beneficial to dim-0s in an election, before it can be spent, it will go directly into the economy with one purpose, TO MAKE MONEY, and JOBS will come with it.

Day one of the Romney presidency (which would actually be the day after the election), the economy will start improving, because, their will be a collective sigh of relief in corporate headquarters all over the country, and they'll view Romney's election as a trigger to spend the fortunes they've held in their bank accounts. With spending will come economic growth and jobs, by the millions each year.

Removing the uncertainty that hovers all over the nation, will have an immediate impact, and that uncertainty will be gone on Nov 7. We'll know that the Bush tax cuts will remain in place, and no new taxes will be levied, and the expectation that Obamacare will be gone. With Obamacare in danger of getting repealed, that alone will trigger many companies to hire.

Then, the coal and oil and natural gas industries will be expecting that, many or most of the burdening regulations from the EPA and Obama will be undone, and that alone will create a lot of economic activity and a few million more jobs.

People will be able to find jobs, and with that, millions of people will be removed from dependency on government handouts, and that will help to bring down the national deficit.

If, on the other hand, Obama gets re-elected, we'll see millions more lose their jobs within a few months, since, employers will stop hiring and those that are fired wont be able to find jobs, and millions more will become discouraged from looking for work since the jobs won't be there, and many thousands of companies will downsize. All of the conditions for depression will be in place, and we'll have become Spain and Portugal and Greece. Failure is guaranteed with Obama, but with Romney, even if he is basically an unknown quantity, we'll stand a much better chance.

I wouldn’t doubt that there is a LOT of money being kept out of the economy, held in reserve, because they can’t justify throwing it down the toilet.

And, yes, when Romney is elected, this money will free up.

However, watch out, because once the money starts moving, all that “QE” money will start moving as well, and inflation here we come!
