But to show that, thats not the only reason I picked him. I also feel that he will cut back the pork barrel spending and inturn lower our Debts. With Obama almost every solution he has to cut back the Debts is also present a program that will increase our debts.
Also I'm glad to see that we are getting mature responses.
The other night on TV, a guy (can't remember his name for the life of me) who's vying for McCain's VP position, couldn't tell the anchor interviewing him one way that his economic policy differs from the Bush Administrations, and seeing as most republicans agree with Bush's economic plan, I highly doubt the economy is going to get any better, especially since everyday more and more jobs are out sourced and less and less is made in the good ol' U.S. of A.
Those stimulus checks everyone got are silly ideas because they don't do what they are intended to do, which is put it right back into the economy, instead, because the baby boomers never taught their children how to properly handle credit, the average joe used that money to pay off existing debt, instead of buying a new tv or something else equally frivolous. So in the end, all it did was inflate everything, just as raising minimum wage does.
If not for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, had we stayed on Clinton's economic plan, we would have been out of debt almost entirely by now. The only way to get money rolling in this country again is to stop refilling our war chest, which has been empty for a good while now but it's apparently like Mary Poppin's bag of tricks in which more of what we need keeps coming out of it. And start making shit to export, it creates more jobs, in which more people have money to spend. We should have given those stimulus checks to small business owners and the like, which is the hardest hit out of anyone. But Republicans support big business, and I don't know about where you live, but here I've seen far too many locally owned shops close up or merge in order to not walk out in debt.
Obama's ideas for creating new programs to help pull us out of debt is not a bad idea, it is exactly what FDR did to pull us out of the depression, and guess what? It ******* worked pretty well. Now granted, had WW2 not broken out we wouldn't have been nearly as well off, but we got lucky in that there was a war going on at the time that we
were not apart of and so we
made all the war machines allies needed, as well as got paid to protect ships at sea. But unfortunately when you start the war you foot the bill.
Now granted it's not a situation we can just walk away from, we shook up everything these people had ever known, and honestly, seemed to prefer, Westerners tend to forget most of their laws stem from Islam itself, and so we're questioning and trying to change their morale background as well. Anyone who's ever had to deal with Christian fanaticism should know you can not change a deeply religious person, you only give them more reason to be as they are, and that evident in the amount of rebel groups springing up in the region. We honestly just ****** everything up.
