betting on failure

So now, having given essentially zero support to the stimulus package, the GOP is cheering for failure as their electoral strategy. Nice. Guess they still like Rush Limbaugh.

Meanwhile, why should we care that Japan's economy plummeted in late 2008? Because we are Japan's number 1 export market - and the huge drops in exports, gross domestic product, etc are all essentially indicators of the weakness of the AMERICAN economy. But unlike the GOP, Japan will certainly be cheering for success for the Obama Administration's economic policies.
