You are right. Had Obama had his way and congress not acted responsibly the US would have gone the way of Venezuela. Hugo Chavez was a hero to the Leftist 2/3 of the Dems, at least until his policies ran their course.

So yes, there was another way for the US to go. Fortunately, Obama blew all of his political capital on the Affordable Care act and never got the opportunity to complete his Venezuelan-inspired transformation of the US.

Man, it must be amazing to ride the coattails of someone with actual economic sense.  Good for Trump to reap all the reward from the ignorant masses.

Like Barry Switzer following Jimmy Johnson

Like George Seifert following Bill Walsh

.... hopefully, in Trumps case, he doesn't flame out after a few years like Switzer & Seifert.  Nobody is rooting for that (except for wealthy people with cash assets so they can invest during a financial crisis) !!!
