"By 2013, the ability of policy makers to kick the can down the road is going to run out of steam"

Localities and states have run out of road and the can is filled with cement. They can't print money.

I expect QE zillion soon, but it won't do anything but forestall the inevitable. The government is a huge monster devouring the flesh out of the private sector.

If the GOP gains the WH and Senate, some more time will be bought, but demographics and the math are against us. Unless major structural changes are made to the huge entitlement programs, the train wreck will continue apace.

One single bill could halt the economic train wreck, a national RTW.

Business and investment would boom and jobs would flood back.

Romney in a landslide. But, I don't think it'll make much difference in the near future though:
