“heads we win, tails you lose” approach.

You could very well be correct...that's exactly what happened with FDR (and we are still suffering the fallout).

I believe it was Mark Steyn that pointed out a couple of months ago that it was the party in power in various nations during the depression that retained control, whether they were conservative or liberal, as long as it looked like the nations were "recovering". Obama's policies are now proving to have done nothing but make the situation worse. If jobs don't appear quickly, I think the Dems will be out on their butts in 2012.

I sure hope so, anyway.

I wouldn't worry too much about Cloward-Priven. Their aim, to collapse government by milking available social programs, is probably going to happen without any conspiracy. 20% unemployment will do it nicely.

If Mark Steyn said it, it must be true.

I LOVE listening to that guy on the radio.

Two UCLA economics professors did a study that proved that FDR made the Great Depression last SEVEN YEARS longer than it would have without his policies.

My biggest worry, quite frankly, is that we’ve already drank the economic cyanide, and what happens in 2010/2012 won’t change the fact that we’ve ALREADY committed suicide with Obama’s policies. We are/were at such a fragile state, and the LAST thing we needed was hyperinflation-creating massive debt to kill us a couple years from now.
