You know what I hear from the other side? They are happy with the way things are. They are happy with a contracting economy, negative 1 percent growth in the last quarter. They are happy with fewer people in the workforce than the Carter years. They are happy with more young people living at home than ever before. They are happy with declining incomes for the middle class because they are saying just keep doing what we have been doing. In fact, as I think about it, my friend from Massachusetts said: Let's just wait and let the economic morass clear up. That is a direct quote. Let's just wait.
