In order to support this pronouncement you have to assume, incorrectly, that the Republican Congress will roll over and encact any new initiative that Kerry dreams up.
Remember when Clinton was President and the Congress majority was Repubican and almost a Republican majority in the Senate, there was gridlock and nothing got done. It was prosperous times, as well.
There is something good to be said for gridlock.
It is obvious that a Republican majority in the Congress and a Republican President is not about rolling back the leviathan federal government, as Newt Gringrich promised me if I voted Republican, but the modus operandi is doing whatever it takes to keep the position of majority at the expense of the constitution, liberty, and private property.
