Reply #44: Will a few of them go away in 8 years?

[Oregone]

Will there still be two active military operations in 8 years and health care that is not substantially more affordable and accessible than now? Will the economic recession/depression be mitigated via stimulus and a new more regulated structure be put in place to avoid similar bubbles in the future?

I don't know. I guess we all don't. I assume in 8 years the economy may well work itself out, unless we get trapped in a deflationary spiral from lackluster stimulus and deficient demand (but, who knows if measures will be put in place to better regulate the market). But at for war and healthcare, Im not super-duper optimistic, but we will see I guess.

One thing I tell you...being silent now or cheerleading may not much help to make those things happen in 8 years.

I guess it doesn't matter. These are just "pet issues". After all, he did start an organic garden.
