FUBAR will be the voter response if the market is a leading indicator of the economy.

Business leaders have led the way in setting a darwininan 'market economy' as panacea. But Elections come in a Democracy because we are a 'political' economy and not a pure market force dictatorship. This means that the results of our economic system are juried and approved by a majority of voters at election time.

I started school in NYC in the 30s and you guys have no idea of the euphoria that swept the neighborhoods with Roosevelt. As a kid I remember the sounds of 'Happy Days are Here Again' and the posting of the NRA Blue Eagle signs everywhere restored confidence in the economy.

In that election, the voters took the ball from business and handed it to government. Yes, then Government grew and stole the ball. FDR turned into a manipulator and dictatorially swept into office for an unprecedented four times.

So what is the message for the GOP? Grab the ball from business before the Democrats do. COME UP WITH A PLAN TO REDUCE UNCERTAINTY BEFORE THE DEMOCRATS DO. Uncertainty will be the death of the GOP. Jawboning won't cut it. The 'long run' ends on election day.
