Let us hope that does not happen. Right now the economy is dead in the water. This month reminds me of Y2K and 911. Very little actual cash is flowing around. Basically due to the uncertainty of the election and of course all those dollars sent into every ones favorite political candidate. We need this election to be over and done with. And a clear winner to emerge with some type of mandate. An Obama comeback that just barely wins, wont get the economy roaring. Just get us back to June/July of 2012 with a boatload more of Marxist stupidity to come. A Romney win with a mandate would let loose the flow of investment and spending. Dragging the country through a month more of uncertainty after the election, could absolutely implode the economy.
Exactly. If retail sales are any measure, the entire economy is holding its collective breath, waiting for the morning of November 7th. There is nothing going on except at discount stores and Wal-Mart
That’s why it would be so much fun to see a Romney mandate and a Republican Congress. Not from a political win perspective, but because I think the economy would absolutely explode with energy. For the last 12 to 18 months everybody has collectively drawn their resources closer and tighter to their vest in advance of the election. With an Obama win people/businesses will release only what they have to to keep moving. With a Romney win people/businesses will leap forward and the economy will spring back to life within the next 3 or 4 quarters.
