We can agree to disagree on that. There's no way to know for sure but I feel strongly that the republican nominees in the last two presidential elections would have done just as poor a job with the economy. Remember this started under W. And that's not even discussing the ways in which the gop wants to limit my day to day freedoms, which is as bad or worse than the democrats' silliness with guns.
In any case, even if a republican adminstration would have slowed this downward spiral we're on, I'd rather get it over with. A steep enough descent might wake enough people up, like turning up the heat on the boiling frog so it notices and hops out of the boiler. We've already got some bad burns but if we hop out soon we can survive.
