Same as it has been since Bush. Stagnant, wars, top 10% or so will be fine. Hillary will sign TPP I have no doubt about that. Unemployment will be lower than average but most jobs will continue to move from living wages to retail wages.

Basically the same as its been for a long time. She represents everything that is status quo and that's how she wants to lead us.

I believe, personally, we have a long term trajectory of mediocre stagnation, the Great Recession gutted the middle/working class.

When the baby bush presidency ended, I said it would take 25 years until we fully recover.

I still stand by that statement.

Perhaps with Hillary we'd finally pass the ERA.
1) Go look whom signed NAFTA. Biden, Kennedy, Kerry, Clinton....so there goes your first point.

2) Jeff Immelt (I worked for GE once upon a time) is Obama's "Jobs Czar". If you are unaware of GE's degree of off-shoring and of course tax loop-hole / evasion....then you need to learn now.

3) many recesssions\depressions happen well outside the scope of any specific party but it makes for political fodder. If you were old enough you would remember blame heaped on Clinton for what Bush inherited and Obama for what he inherited and so forth. I'd asked where you read it but my guess is mother jones...the Rush Limbaugh of the left. You can do better in educating yourself.

Your post is the #1, stick a pin in it, reason that Hillary beat Bernie Sanders. You seriously have zero clue about the real situation but at least you have name recognition. Enjoy the Republican you are about to elect in November.

^^^THis.

Anyone want to bet Hillary won't sign TPP? Step right up and say so. Guessing we won't get any takers but they'll just be happy it isn't trump. Can't fault half of their logic but when Hillary screws you over it's going to be funny to watch the mental gymnastics....like an abused spouse legitimizing the abuse.

It'll probably be very similar to Bill Clinton's terms - a booming economy and a surplus.

This is a strange prediction. Hillary has very little in common with Bush or the right-wing supply side economy.

She has much more in common with her husband, and will probably bring about similar results - good economy and a surplus.
