This article had me for a while. I’ve always been a cyclical event type of guy so this certainly peaked my interest. Certainly for the Piggs, we can all see the parallel between the Great Recession vs the Great Depression. And the 80 year cycle repeating itself secondary to the dying off of the prior generation, excellent point.
Then I see the picture of Romney along with Franklin and Lincoln and FDR… Now I’m on the floor! I can look past a lot of things on Romney. For example, the flip flop is a necessity simply because of current state of the GOP. You can’t win the nomination unless you go far right, I get that. So we’ll junk all of the inconsistencies on that account. So then you look at the plan. The plan is to lower taxes some more to stimulate the economy. More military spending, again, to stimulate. This while crying about how high the deficit and the national debt is getting.
Fully seeing the cyclical nature of things, and even agreeing we are in for further turbulence of the dark winter illustrated in the article, I still don’t quite see Romney having a plan that would “bring us out of the darkness and into the light.” The article’s attempt to paint Romney as a prophet leader is quite feeble as there were zero evidence brought forth to support how Romney has demonstrated he is the prophet leader.
So I’m left with the idea that all of the ideas Romney has thrown in during this entire campaign is just to get elected so he can turn around and become the prophet leader strong enough to make extremely unpopular decisions to save us from the cold dark winter.
Essentially, have faith in a man that is really best defined by his ability to shift and change his positions to match expectations and circumstances. Right!
