I think Medved does a pretty good job of putting things into perspective, although his "silver lining" statement at the end seems to assume that Obama will be re-elected and the Republicans will maintain control of the House. I don't think that will happen. If Obama wins, it will be because his voters got energized and that will spell bad news for House Republicans (and the country).

the wild spending growth Romney and company decry has already begun to subside under the influence of the Republican House.

Good, now make plans to do the right thing after the election to quadruple the efforts. Cut departments, enact a balanced budget amendment, and sell all the federal lands immediately.

Honestly, Michael should stop looking at the numbers and applying his own brand of predictive logic and take a damned drive out in this country and see the effects of Obama on car dealerships, businesses that sell tractors, combines, machines...see the empty stores in strip malls, see some of the former “boomtown” home neighborhood projects with fancy entrance walls and dozens of empty lots sporting only the light green pipes and electrical stubouts.....

I see these things EVERY day. All Michael is looking at in his study are numbers whose provenance (meaning many of them are from Obama’s accountants and complicit media) is dubious.
