Great! And then the 47% Romney mentioned becomes 53% and the Dems win in a landslide in 2016.

Remember FDR. The unemployment was through the roof for a decade and that helped FDR each time he won reelection. Why do you think high unemployment hurts Obama?

Because FDR bought votes with “job programs,” but the federal government today is so large, bloated, and hamstrung by its own bureaucracy that there is no way it would be able to do that today. Plus monetary policy is very, very different.

The economic situation of today is not like the Great Depression. We need a fever to cure our illness.
