I'll fight to preserve the USA to the end of my life, but if Romeny wins quite frankly I think history will record the end of the Clinton term as the turning point when the USA began it's final decline in earnest. Obama did a pretty good job in slowing/stopping the slide but Romney following so close behind GWB will turn us into permanent plutocratic society with a rapidly diminishing middle class. The masses will bear the burden of US debt and the wealthy will internationalize their wealth and ultimately citizenship.
Two terms of Obama followed by a Hillary presidency could revitalize the USA but too many people are one issue voters and/or too easily swayed by charlatans' empty promises. In a very real sense we've become a MTV attention span country, demanding quick and painless fixes to every problem.
Further Romney tax cuts would hasten your state's descent, but let's not kid ourselves about Obama's first four - he put in place a largely neutered Glass-Steagal replacement, the banks are even bigger than they were in 2007, and not a single person has faced prosecution over the crash. You're at best treading water.
