TheBreeze, I’d vote for Obama if I could. (I am not a US citizen.) I am hoping he pursues a Clinton-style fiscal policy, without the Greenspan bubbles. McCain doesn’t seem able to understand economics well enough to say no to someone like a Bernanke. Both appear very weak to me, to be honest, since they are still mostly talking about how much more they want to spend, and what they want to do to reward those who were irresponsible.
So it turns out we are not very far apart on key issues. Getting govt out of housing entirely would be the best thing for the economy in 30 years. I could take almost anything in return for that.
