Things look good for pubbies in ‘14 & ‘16, but I never underestimate their ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
And never under estimate rigged elections.
I agree about 14, but that victory will be their undoing.. Let me explain.. The moment they achieve a majority in both houses, we will demand that they overturn several programs that have NOW become a crutch in too many households..
Before they started receiving a government check the would have never thought that they would do it, but once that can was opened, they will support it.. The Obama administration has placed the corporate world on it’s ear, and made them revamp their business model, which they have now adapted, and adopted, LEAN and MEAN..
The corporate world former model was profit by expansion, now, because of the Obamacare passage they started to reduce world force, and halt expansion in the USA, and found a new model in cheaper venues, overseas, contract labor and temps, to adjust the normal cyclical requirements..
It works but not in the Nations favor.. The stock market views the P and L statements and sees the new profit margins and reacted positively, stagnant growth with higher margins, thus multiple new highs..
They may return to the older methods, but I doubt it will happen soon, if at all.. Expansion can’t happen without demand.. Demand can’t happen without growth, and the push will go to the higher stock values..
