2. A reasonable hypothesis, but...
Edited on Sat Apr-10-04 10:14 AM by Tandalayo_Scheisskop
If the Dems take control, the whole world will be watching very closely as to the substantive structural and behavioral changes that will be made by them, to return the US to its traditional as good citizen and honest broker in the world. Until they see that evidence, I doubt that most countries will be enthusiastic about doing much business with and in the US. Hence, making these said structural and behavioral changes would be, in fact, good for business.

Remember: In 2000, foreign investment in the US was approx $300 Billion a year. It was down to, last I looked, around $44 Billion. A lot of that money was going into investment in new businesses, especially in the tech sector.

It can easily be said that al lot of changes in American behaviors and ethics would be very good for business. Right now, we are on the thin cusp of being a de-facto pariah nation.
