If the economy instead gets worse, the population is more likely to resist it and throw them out of office at the next election.

You have it wrong. If the economy tanks the people will want more socialism. If the economy recovers, and it will, the people will boot out the tax and spenders. The uS economy is greater than obamas actions.

Count me proudly in the category of those willing to sacrifice a little security (a job) if that's the cost of thwarting attacks on my liberty.

Quit your job right now and join the ranks of the unemployed to further the process of "righting the system". Somehow I don't think you will.

I guess that's why Jimmy Carter got reelected, huh?

I was let go from the company where I worked over a year ago and have been unemployed ever since then. I was an independent contractor at that company, so I couldn't collect unemployment when I was let go. At this point I'm living off a little bit of savings that I had. I'm intentionally not looking for work right now to do my part to "starve the beast" by reducing tax collections by the government. There are some of us out here that aren't just all talk and no action.

Right on tc45a. The desire to tank the economy under the assumption it will further the Conservative cause is just plain nuts. People are sucked into socialism when times are tough.

I for one always root for the US and our economy, regardless of who is President. If we want Conservatives elected, we need to find a good spokesman for our cause, someone like Reagan. THAT’S our problem right now; no solid voice.
