If Obama is re-elected, will my generation receive its New Deal?

Asked by dreamwolf (3163points) September 8th, 2011

Will we have a similar New Deal, like Roosevelts. I was born 1987, I wonder if we will a bunch of new jobs and new expansion in America.

No. You will get the same Old Deal.

No, we get the partisan bickering deal.

In these modern days and ages, people no matter if it is Obama or Bachman in office will have to do it with iDeal.

Yeah. It’ll be magic. If you believe in magic, then re-elect Obama.

No, if Obama is re-elected, you’ll receive a raw deal.

Who? What is an Obama?

You certainly have a better chance with the Democrats than the Republicans who only offer a bad deal.

@marinelife The republican’s offer a good deal. But only if you’re in the top 5%.

Obama will only give a new deal if the Democrats take back Congress. Otherwise it will be gridlock as usual.

A few years back I heard an analysis that said Americans like political gridlock. It means nothing will change much and so no politician will do much damage. People hate Congress more than they hate Obama, according to recent polls I’ve heard about.

I don’t expect much to change. People may hate Obama, but they hate politicians even more. They’ll want to make sure there is more nothing from Washington. It’s no way to run a country—unless that country is a country that is afraid of its own shadow—one that takes the risk of symbolic dangers as far more dangerous that the risk of real dangers. Such as the risk of death due to terrorism compared to the risk of death due to lack of health insurance.
