Do you believe the economy will improve over the next two years?

[kentuck]

Do you believe the Repubs will credit the taxcuts with the recovery?

Do you believe they will praise the magic of supply side and taxcuts?

Do you think they will have a legitimate claim? Do you believe in the invisible hand of taxcuts and the free market?

How much damage do you think these taxcuts will do to our country? Not just in running up the deficit but giving new credibility to their false claims of taxcuts and jobs?

What do you think the unemployment rate will be two years from now? If it drops to 8%, do you think the Repubs will say it a miracle caused by their taxcut policies and they now have the legitimacy to cut taxes for another ten years?

Do you think any of this is likely to happen?

1. No.

Even if there is a business cycle upswing, it won't last for the most part or hit main street. Jobless recoveries are short. We need change. We can't keep outsourcing, tax cutting, and gutting government services and expect much real domestic demand.

[Toucano]

2. No. Best investment now is a crash course in Mandarin. n/t

[Wounded Bear]

3. I expect a double dip recession.....

fast on the way to the real Republican goal:

Full blown depression.

[Mimosa]

4. Whatever the plutocracy wants is what will happen. n/t

5. its going to get worse

worse worse worse worse

[tinkerbell41]

6. No

They had the tax cuts to produce jobs. There aren't any. They are not coming back

[cherokeeprogressive]

7. 10% unemployment and $5.00+ for a gallon of gasoline.

For starters.

[StevieM]

8. Gradually. I think unemployment will be at 9.7 next month, 8.6 one year later and 7.5 a year after

that. We'll have to see if Obama can get re-elected with those numbers. It would help if he would demand an end to trickle-down economics and the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy.

[Dawson Leery]

15. Direction is all that matters.

Reagan took a second term with 7.8% unemployment.

[Individualist]

9. No.

[Raschel]

10. No.

[Arctic Dave]

11. Honestly, No.

I think we may be witnessing the twilight of the working class.

[pansypoo53219]

12. obama just gave them enough rope to hang themselves.

and maybe 2012 he comes out strong to raise taxes on the rich.

[kentuck]

14. It's a friggin' war!

The Repubs have become our enemies. Not political opponents, but pure enemies.

[ProSense]

13. Yes

If I didn't believe it, I would be accepting that a Republican is destined to win in 2012. I reject both premises.

[Subdivisions]

16. No. It will never recover. n/t

[kestrel91316]

17. yes

[xultar]

18. No because the GOP wants the WH. GOP is Corp America and Corp america

Will hold off on jobs and recovery, they will use the tax cuts to fuel their anti democratic candidate commercials in 2012.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

19. How? A consumer economy without consumers does not a recovery make.

[guitar man]

20. No, but the beatings will continue

Until morale improves :(
