Will the democrats cause the country to go into a recession?

Maybe the best economy yet like the Clinton years!

No, just general slowing followed by a significant decline in 2007. \n\nSpending in Iraq and Louisiana along with a continuation in consumer spending will carry 2006. Once real estate commences a decline and real estate refi $'s are not available to augment consumer spending and the budget deficiet eliminates the possibility of a tax cut as a stimulus then the consumer will no longer have the ability to carry the economy by spending. Escalating long term interest rates and weakness in the dollar compared to foreign currencies combined with continuation in budget deficeits will lead to major slowdown in foreign investment in the private and public sector (bonds). A prolonged recession will follow that will include significantly higher unemployment as corporations cut costs by continuing to outsource labor. \n\nThe fed will first stop the short term rate increases and then they will try to cut rates, but it will be too litle to late. Bush will go down in history as the weakest President of all time.

Good question. The Democratics should regain the White House and both Congressional houses.The Middle East problem will still be the big question along with economic competition from Inida and China. The great divid between the poor and the rich will widen shrinking the middle class even more. By the year 2016, a draft will be effect. Women will also be drafted for non-combat positions. As far as economics there will be another boom market for the internet as the late 1990s. This time, however, more experienced with internet communications, businesses will be more geared toward interaction with customers. Meaning businesses will take the e-bay method of selling. You will be bargaining for goods instead of paying one set price.

Probably not, because the two parties are of opposite beliefs as to how the country should be run.  Things will settle down a little, and the barbs will be more subtle.  Remember, the Presidential election is next, and it will start up about a year before the election.

They will probably take away the Bush tax cuts.  Heck, somebody better get some revenue flowing back into Washington.  For the last several years, our tax money has been flying to Iraq as fast as we can print it.\n\nOf course, when the Democrats do the responsible thing about getting this country's financial house in order, the Republicans will point their fingers and call them tax and spend liberals.  \n\nI hope there is an electorate there to remind them that the Democrats may have to tax but only because the Republicans have spent so liberally and irresponsibly.

If they cut funds, expect a body count double the current.  We are barely accomplishing mission with what we have there now.  Cut funding and the Democrats will have killed many Soldiers.  \n\nI pray it does not happen.  If it does, the Dems are going to have blood on their hands...the'll prob blame it on Bush though...

They will raise our taxes and spend money on new pork-barrel projects, just like Democrats have always done.  They will cut and run from the radical terrorists and expose us all to new terrorist attacks in America.  They will amend the Second Amendment of the Constitution and try to take away our rights to own firearms.  They will permit abortion on demand under all circumstances.  Read their websites and then read between the lines.  What they avoid telling you before election time is just as important as what they advertise.\n\nI see that "dakota29575" has his eye on the stock market, which has already gone down for the last 6 consecutive days, as it appears that the Democrats may gain control of the House or the Senate, and maybe both.  The Democrats won't TRY to take the market down.  It goes down in FEAR of Democrat control, and their "Tax and spend" policy, which creates inflation.

WELL YOU HAVE TO HAVE A STRONG TRACK RECORD OF BEING TOUGH ON NATIONAL SECURITY, WHICH THE DEMS NEVER HAD, AND SAYING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ECONOMY, WHICH IS BOOMING. THE DEMS DONT HAVE A CHANCE ON THAT ONE. THE DEMS WILL TELL YOU THE ECONOMY IS WEAK, WHICH WE ALL KNOW ISNT. IN 08 I BET EVERYTHING WILL BE GREAT AS TIME GOES ON, AND THE DEMS WILL SAY THEY WANT CHANGE, BUT CHANGE TO WHAT? FROM GREAT TO HORRIBLE? LMFAO!

I sure hope so and lots of them!!! BUT I am really waiting for 2008 when we can replace the President and get our deficit back to zero, like it was when he took office, treat each and every american equally and include ALL income levels when deciding who needs help! The people who are the backbone of this great country are the working class and they are in the poverty level of income!!! We are the forgotten ones. So I appeal to ALL DEMOCRATS TO GET OUT AND VOTE ON NOV. 7TH OF THIS YEAR AND ESPECIALLY IN 2008!!!

The Democrats, prior to Reagan and all the monsters he spawned, were always the party of National Defense.  That is, when conflict is unavoidable.  Democrats are reasonable.  We don't shoot off our mouths like street punks and invade other countries in wars of aggression or thinly disguised coups for more oil.  What the Republicans have done in the past 6 years, has set this nation back 20 years, but after we clean up their mess, yes, we'll be a lot safer.

Michigan - double the average US unemployment, with a Democrat governor that won't part with a business tax that punishes businesses in downtimes like this. Foreclosures at national highs. Continued downsizing of the automotive market, with 1000's of skilled people being laid off.\n\nAnd now the Democrats want to finish us off with their impositions of ridiculous mileage requirements. Bah!

YES to all that.. But more important, Democrats in the majority in congress will stop a one party rule!.. And no party should have as much power to wage useless wars and policies for profit that this government has done over the last 6 years.. In a word, \nAccountability \nThis is what a democratic vote will do.

Hopefully, this past election has been a wake up call. Nevertheless, do not expect them to be accomodating to Democrats. At least not right away.

Gosh, if you don't the Democrats will allow nuclear weapons to prolifterate to war mongering countries such as Iran and N Korea, they'll run up record federal deficits, and start another unjust quagmire war like Vietnam!!

yes because he is going to crash this country into the ground. He is letting the economy rot like a corpse. If we don't impeach him soon- hello second depression.

Exactly, dems have blown it already with their relentless negativity and lack of realistic solutions to our problems. What they really need to do is excise their extremist faction so they can attract more swing voters. Unfortunately, the economy is damn good (hell, my unemployed roommate so a new F150 on credit). So they don't have that to fall back in.\n\nI want Dems like Roosevelt and Jack Kennedy. Not anti-American whiners who think nothing is winnable and run around like Chicken Little all day long.

i think we need some one in the middle, We need the agressiveness that we have shown BUT we also need to meet the concerns of other nations aswell. We are not the only ones that are affected. \n\nI think that the democrats will help our war situation on the american level but leave iraq in the toilet. The will fix our foreign relations with europe but we will suffer from china as the Democrats are more prohuman rights and china treats their workers like crap. So less trade out of china means an increase in prices, the price of oil will increase and many of our issues on alternative fuels wont be solved because of all the special intrest groups.\n\nSo I guess we can only wait and see what will happen but those are my predictions.
