How A Brown Win Could Help The Economy

January 19, 2010 / 11:54 am • By Dr. Melissa Clouthier

The economy stinks. It’s not getting better. The recovery is being hampered by mixed messages and downright hostility toward the private sector.

Business owners have been holding. They haven’t upped production. If business is good, they’ve cautiously hired, if at all. If business is fair, they’ve resisted increasing overhead for fear they’ll need the extra cash for stupid taxes and government programs.

Right now, the stock market is up.

Should Brown win, there will be a collective sigh of relief. Americans will relax just a wee bit and know that the Dems can’t just jam any old stupid idea down Americans’ throats.

The economy could rebound. Hiring could begin again. Maybe things would get better.

Should Coakley win, I predict a double-dip recession. We might get one anyway, but this will make it worse.

The American people will know that the Democrats have no governor and no way to be stopped. The American people have seen one year of bad decision after bad decision. They’ll be disheartened should Coakley win.
