It goes without saying there are a lot of terrible things going on right now. That said I'm much more confident about our near term economic health. Divided government at a time like this would have been terrible. We have a clear shot at getting the next two years right.
I think the key is getting the Democrats as a group to understand that the recovery from 2008 was hamstringed by underestimating the risk of doing too little to support the real economy also known as people.
Here as in 2009 the power rests with the conservative Democrats. They need to understand if they hamstring recovery efforts they power they now have will be washed away in two years.
