Let me put it differently. Some things are difficult but achievable, while others are downright impossible. How does your argument here ("jesus goofy, maybe believe a little harder") allow for the possibility of distinguishing between the two?
There may be things you aren't considering. Blind faith is loltastic, I agree. That doesn't mean we can't achieve quite a lot with what he's putting forth. We might not be able to achieve all of it but maybe we can do a lot of it.
Economics is complicated, yet we could see some real growth here. With lower taxes, repatriation of overseas funds, infrastructure spending, deregulation, we could possibly be in a position to enjoy a huge economic expansion. The tax code and the economy makes a lot of problems go away, just like it did during the Clinton years. That, in turn, could put us in a position to do a lot of things you think aren't currently possible.
Of course, we could **** it all up and collapse the economy and deregulation could put us in the same situation we were in a decade ago.
Personally, I'm rooting for the rosier side.
By the way - many people thought Europe was lost at one point.
