(22,669 posts)16. In the Al Gore universe, the national debt was paid off in 2009 and nobody pays taxes anymore.
National defense is robust, the economy is robust, polluters have actually jumped onboard with keeping our waters and air clean, wealth abounds, and people have universal health care for all. We don't tell them about your GWB direction though. Not because it would make them overjoyed, but because there's enough goodwill, they might try to travel to your Earth and give you a minor history lesson on why you should never elect republicans.
Enjoy your conservative recession/depressions and uncheck public debt. Talk to you all soon!
