“short term” = term in office
Long term = next dem president inherits a recession and gets blamed for it
If there IS a next dem president.
Typical cycle. Republican cuts taxes, economy stagnates, gov goes to hell. Democrat has to get more revenue, may need to raise taxes to fix damage, economy picks up. Republicans point at Dem and say he raised taxes and voters get upset. Repeat.
