Problem: What condition would our economy be presently in and what type of stimulus and healthcare package would we be seeing if, by a silly quirk of fate:
a) The Prez was from Arizona, the Vice-President was from Alaska (last years's GOP ticket), and the GOP controlled Congress? Could our economy withstand this scenario?
b) The Prez was Ron Paul, the Vice-President was Dave Letterman, Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, Robin William, Jay Leno, or some other profession comedian who love to poke fun at these somewhat amateur comedians who nowadays pose as our politicians; and the Congress was split between Independents, Libertarians, and Tea Party candidates? Could our economy withstand this scenario?
Be specific with your answers....use sound economic theory and thought; and of course whatever economic comedy you care to inject.
