Let's use our thinking caps, our imagination. I want to contemplate what America will look like in four years if Obama is re-elected. This does not have to be cloaked in fact. Simply hypothesize. Have fun with it and please don't get upset with other's answers. You can be as extreme as you want to.

It depends on the Congress. If the House goes back to the Democrats and the Senate stays Democrat, you can expect the economy of Greece or Spain here in the United States.

I agree but I also wonder what executive orders Obama has up his sleeve if the democrats don't get the house. This is what worries me the most. Our Republic is not meant to have one person in charge. This changes our country completely.

That would be an intresting turnout. The most I fear is that we get arrested based on ideologies or difference to the status quoe. And that we contiue to suffer silently, praising false intentiors while letting corporations run our everyday lives as a guise of the government. The thing I fear most is that people will continue to sit down, like they allway do, and it will contiue to be buisness as usual.

The national debt will grow to at least $21 trillion and quite possibly a lot higher. People will have long wait times to get health care, like in Canada, even if they aren't denied entirely. Taxes will increase for everyone; some increases are already built into Obamacare to take effect in 2013 and more beyond that. The recession will return and the jobless rate will increase with even more people being without jobs than the official number shows because they will have quit looking; this is the case now in that the current number of about 8% does not come close to reflecting how many are actually out of work. He will have no reason to hold back and will push his true agenda of BIG government and socialism without restraint. If he gets his way with tax the rich and corporations and small business, the 1% or so that pay close to 99% of the taxes will actually shrink as they flee the U.S. and taxes taken in will be less not more and many jobs will be lost since corporations and small businesses will have to make layoffs or in the case of the small businesses, some will go out of business which will mean higher unemployment and higher prices.

I fond that a pretty factual analysis. How much more power are we willing to give to one person?
