That is an excellent five-year prognostication. I think I'll file it away for future reference. Can't you just hear the Dems 2016 election pitch? "Bush drove us in the ditch. Obama was getting us out but didn't have enough time. Romney put us back in the ditch."
“... excellent five-year prognostication...”
Amen - go GraceG!
Meanwhile in the “backwaters” of the mid Hudson, Andrew Cuomo is circling in for the kill - i.e. the 2016 candidate.
Romney will smoooooth his way - just as Pataki did for Spitzer.
Cuomo’s strategy - squeeze labor because they have nowhere to go. This to make brownie points for the realists who know the pension plans are Unsustainable in New York and on a Federal level. (Greece. anyone??) Tier VI is a stop gap. Romney fits in well with these plans.
If Romney gets in - we (conservative republicans) are CHUM.
