I'm glad you're making it apolitical, because I'd hate to see "political".
Let me try my hand at "apolitical": no matter who won, we remain on track for recovery into next year, we still have huge issues in front of us, and the real question is how we split the tab for the horrible bender we've all been on.

I don't see any coherence in the electorate choosing to add Democrstic seats to the Senate and more Republican seats to the House. If the country dislikes Congressional gridlock, why did the vote turn out this way? Wouldn't it make more sense to have Congress be one party or another in order to pass some kind of legislation?
The last time we came close to fiscal sanity was with a strong R House and Senate and a D Pres. Not that things were perfect...far from it...but far better than today.
The staggered bicameral nature of Congress coupled with the division of power (czars and executive orders notwithstanding) is in there by design. If the far left is Stalin and the far right is Hitler (as we're falsely told by the NEA indoctrinated history revisionists) maybe its the best thing that we don't compromise towards either one and gridlock is the best of the 3 likely outsomes, as flawed as it itself may be.

There were two opportunities to get the "free" cheese.
Tarp 1 provided money to bailout construction companies with leveraged house inventory...I coulda encumbered all my inventory and gotten bailed, but I chose to play by the rules.
Tarp 1+2 provided "grant cheese" to green companies - established and startup...Yes that's right, you could write a business plan to produce solar panels and they would have given you money to launch your super dream green company. This was also further incentivised by giving state governments money to "grant" to green companies in their states...So, in the great central planning office in DC, specific states were chosen to be green industry states and if you wanted to be a CEO, all you had to do was write it up and send it in. Yippee frikken skippee.

Yeah.. I played by the rules too. I am ready to start taking now though. Lord knows I have paid enough into the system, and I am gonna at least get my investment back before it is all means tested. I'm thinking to get as many credit cards as I can, take the maximum cash out of each one, default and move to Argentina. Come get it suckers.....
They're working on that as we speak.

Sounds apolitically correct to me. The mess remains, the question is how we split the tab. I wasn't talking about the size of the tab, or the participants willingness or ability to pay. I do think that there will be a modest recovery, with the can being partly kicked down the road.

Are you forecasting the end of the world?

As to that cheap money of which you speak. Since he will continue his assault on the evil banks, I am guessing that that cheap money will not be as plentiful as you think. Maybe the government will print more and hand it out to his pet projects, but all that does is accelerate us down the path he has laid out before us.
See Greece for a glimpse of the future. My bet is $19 trillion in debt as to when the dollar is no longer relevant. Sometime in 2015. But don't worry, your taxes will pay for it all.
