Your predictions regarding the economy are very optimistic; I hope you are right in view of: after the 1929 crash, the Dow Jones low wasn’t reached until 1933 and the 1929 DJ high wasn’t reached again until 25 years later. We had a Democrat New Dealer during most of that period as well, you may recall.

You may also recall that a relatively untested liberal guy became President in 1977 with 61 Democrats in the senate and a 67% majority in the house but, the economy went “to hell in a handbasket.”
