Allan, you’re absolutely correct about the USA being insolvent. My fear with Obama is NOT that he will raise taxes but that he and a Dem controlled Congress will spend the money on more social programs rather than attempting to fix some of the biggest things that ail the country. McCain is no prize but he’s more likely to tackle a problem head-on and tell you what the consequences are if we don’t attack it.
You are correct that neither one of them is going to get in front of a television camera and tell the honest truth about what needs to be done before the election is completed.
I am very suspect about Obama’s repeated claims of “change” because he doesn’t present anything of substance that tells the American people exactly what he’s going to change. It’s just a whole bunch of platitudes and mish-mush, over and over again…………………and people (mainly young people and women) seem to fall for this slick talking, hard-left liberal who’s going to sell the country right down the river.
