A Government that promotes a welfare state, is doomed to fail, imo. Because the more handouts are given, the more people will expect them. The US is attracting illegals because they are being offered a slightly better incentive than their corrupt homeland provides them. (Mexico is just one example) It will become impossible to pay for it all. The US will become a nation of the very rich Ruling Class, (those in power are really the 1%) while the rest will struggle.
I'm not opposed to helping the truly needy, btw. But, take away the incentive to work, because the system will meet your needs with less effort, is what they are selling. They have given out just enough candy to buy the vote. That's how they win.
Over taxation, over regulation will drive up unemployment, and send companies out of America. (unless the government buys them out.)
Now we have 4 years of a Lame Duck President, when we can least afford one. NO private sector experience. NO real world experience. NO solution to the problems that we face, and NO COMPROMISE.
Any company executive that blames his predecessor 4 years after being hired would no longer be employed. You don't blame your predecessor, you do the job. Excuses are for those who can't deliver. The US govt. is a business, and should be run as one. Unfortunately, the biggest business on earth is headed in the direction of being the most dysfunctional one as well.
Romney may get another opportunity in 4 years, but may not want it by then. It's too bad, because he is far more qualified to lead than the incumbent or anyone on the horizon, imo.
Besides, in 4 years, it might just be too late.
