No. All that would mean is that someone’s bandaged the bleeding for now, not that the wounds are healed. It will take decades, if its even possible, to recover from this. I am no longer sure we can recover, not as an entire nation.
Remember, those two issues are out of dozens of not hundreds of major policies that would have to be rolled back - and that takes more time than passing them in the first place. We now have a huge near-permanent welfare state as well.

Plus you need a President and Congress committed to rolling back the policies and the backbone to stand up to the interests benefiting from the policies. Does anyone really believe President Romney, Speaker Boehner, and Senator McConnell have either the desire or the backbone for such a fight much less the belief in conservative principles?
