After all this tax cutting from everyone's favourite maverick, I wonder where the national debt would be at this point. If Obama is having a hard time right now, I honestly feel sorry for Booker, having to clean up a tanking US economy...
In addition to everything else raised in this thread, why is this in After 1900 instead of Future History?
POD was 2008.
For discussions of events which primarily take place in the future, including when the point of divergence is in the recent past.
However, current politics in general is kept out of the After 1900 forum, and after the first four years, this is unquestionably a Future timeline. In fact, the Future History description explicitly says
The first mention of the suicide attack on the the 9/11 memorial didn't mention that it was by Iranians. Since when do Iranians use suicide bombers and why would the Iranians attack the 9/11 memorial? Why would the U.S. declare war over Iran gaining weapons of mass destruction? That isn't a casus belli. War in Iran would cause tens of thousands of U.S. casualties. How can they justify the assasination of a sitting head of government?
