Devils: deficit & slow economic recovery.
Anything the Gov does to fix the deficit slows the economy.
Stimulate the economy and increase the deficit. There is no win/win.

The economy has cycles and who ever happens to be president at that time takes the credit or blame. If you believe BO is to blame for the slow recovery to be consistent you would also have to blame W for the crash.

Even a slow recovery is a recovery. The Dow was below 7K now it is over 13K, with contributions my 401K has doubled since the low in 2009. New homes are being built on my street..............................
