Some things would have remained the same, the housing bubble would still have popped, but the absolute travesty of the "spend like a drunken sailor" Bush administration would have never come to power, budget surplus's of the clinton era may have continued, and the even greater travesty that is shaping up to be the Obama administration would never have materialised. At that crossroads in history in the year 2000, we went down the wrong path.
