The other day, I was talking to someone in Starbucks who told me that he thought the polls were wrong and that Obama was going to win the November 6, 2012 election by a wide margin. I listened to his comments, predictions, and how he came about this observation of his, just one-week before the election in the middle of Hurricane Sandy's downgrade and then upgraded status to super storm. Sure enough he had some compelling evidence such as how Obama looked so compelling telling the American People that his Administration and FEMA had everything under control in the aftermath of Super Storm 2012.
Not more than three-minutes after that individual left after giving me his political speech de jour, another gentleman who had overheard all that noticed I was wearing a "declaration of Independence" shirt and figured I was a good American thus, Republican -- asked me; So, do you think there will be a Romney Landslide. I couldn't help but say that; "that would be awesome for this great nation." He smiled; because he felt the polls were close enough that it might be possible, but also admitted that this Hurricane Sandy thing might have an impact on those last minute voters, so he wasn't totally convinced that Romney would win, just that it might be close.
Let's say that Romney does win, then what happens next? Well, the DOW would soon be headed to 16,000 and small businesses would once again trust government, thus start investing, hiring, and things would begin to move back up. Next, the Romney Administration would move to reduce regulations on small business, franchises, and seek a fairer trade deal with China. The Corporate Tax Rate would come down to keep the US competitive, and we'd have an energy boom, while still investing in pure research and R&D for alternative energies, high-tech materials, biotech, military tech, and space tech.
The Romney administration would get serious about competent government and run the Federal Government the way it was designed. Our enemies abroad would see that we believe in peace, albeit through strength, and that in itself would make the world a safer place. Then comes the reduction of waste in government, the incessant duplication, and overbearing bureaucracy - Romney as the CEO of our country would seek a Six Sigma like strategy to fine-tune our government, automate where possible, and ensure that we didn't step on the toes of individual states or mandate how people should live.
We'd have a reduction in the size of our government, consolidation, and reduction in labor through attrition. We'd see more things done at the community level, not mandated by the Federal Government. Indeed, that's what I think will happen. For me that would be a giant step for mankind in the right direction. Please consider all this and think on it.
