Spence,
I suppose that depends on your perspective... If you are one of the 23 million unemployed or one of the youths that will get stuck paying for the trillions of debt incurred (more debt than all the presidents combined )
of $ wasted to prop big government or if you are one of the people (like me) who wants to invest in a new business but does not want to get bogged down a nightmare of regulations and fees from new taxes, insurance to healthcare that will start you so far behind the 8 ball from the get go that hope of being competitive with other nations is a pipe-dream in my lifetime OR you are a doctor who continues to get less and less reimbursements with more and more regulations and demands OR if you just one of the industries that consumes fuel OR if you need to heat your house OR if you are a student who studied advanced technology who can develop industries to help get us out of this mess and can't get a job because corpoations are unsure of what the future holds...I don't think they like the status quo or steady as she goes approach.
I suppose though if you are on the hand-out side of the equation then yes it pays to vote for someone who will give you something for doing nothing. What have you got to loose? you have nothing now, anything is better than nothing no matter where it comes from right?
In my view the Robin Hood approach is not the solution to growing the US economy (or anything for that matter)
