So when this election cycle started, Obama had a 60% chance of being elected with the conditions and media blowing the winds in his sail. Now with the financial crisis hitting at this moment, I believe that Obama's odds of winning have gone up to about 75 or 80%. It's not like McCain doesn't have a shot but it is getting slimmer.
So I would like to put out there whether it would be good to let the economy blow up. Don't let the politicians bailout anything. I know it sounds drastic but would the crashing of the economy be the thing to actually change the government (before anyone charges that I am cruel and untold people would be hurt by the collapse in the market, let them know that I all my money is tied in the market right now-I didn't even sell anything yesterday).
I have argued before that conservatives would lose another generation to badly decided SCOTUS decisions like Roe and whatnot. But we might be there anyway, as Obama's odds of winning are good right now. Could the ruination of the economy be the thing to finally reign in runaway federal spending. So if the total economy collapses then President Obama wouldn't be able to make the changes he wants like nationalizing healthcare et all. Maybe that would even force changes to the social security system? Medicare?
Now I'm not an economist, so I wanted to put this out there to all you smart people out there and see what you think. My proposal would be since Republican odds of winning aren't good right now, let's let this thing blow up while severely handcuffing Obama's hands
