    sandi:

    i don’t see how that’s possible. of course, i’m dense and unimaginative, but it seems to me that fixing the system requires breaking it. breaking deficit spending, breaking the fed’s loose monetary policy, breaking the addiction to cheap credit, breaking addiction to the government teat.

    growth requires spending. stopping government spending and encourage citizens to save will stop growth. the economy is dependant on growth to drive dividends and share prices. profits. the wealthiest americans, despite elimination of the “death tax” will suffer loss of absolute wealth. compensation of ceo’s will crater as investors come to realize that ceo’s have nothing to do with corporate profits.

    btw, i donated to his campaign and support him for president. i’m just saying, these are reasons i think people, the media, corporations are afraid of him. reasons why his presidency may be misconstrued. reasons to be cautious with your own financial situation.

    i’ma digress for a second cuz it’s been at the back of my mind and say that the “issues” of abortion and gay marriage as part of the list of “issues” of the presidential campaign are retardly laughable. immigration as well, but to less of a retarded degree. it’s only been some 40 years since blacks and women were allowed to even vote, in the evolution of social attitudes in this country, abortion and gay marriage (aka, religious freedom) are still way off on the horizon of social acceptance. we can’t even get the country to commit to separation of church and state (aka, pledge of alligance) let alone to abortion and gays. to discount paul as your candidate based on an “issue” that no other candidate could possibly affirmatively affect is absurd, particularly in light of the real issues (edit: more pressing issues) at hand.

    edit: reduced spending will also cost jobs.

    If all the agencies that RP says should be disbanded are disbanded withing a day, the country will descend into chaos. But they will not be. The president cannot do that by himself, even if he wanted to. What he CAN do is, gradually scale down unnecessary spending, stimulate slow shifts in psychology, start bringing troops home. He can veto porked-up bills and prevent additional debt. That’s a process, it will take time. Sure, there will be market shocks. But that has nothing to do with who the next president is going to be. We are deep in debt, and continuing the same way is only going to make things worse. If you are an individual who overspends, you can hope for a government bailout or in the worst case file a bankruptcy. If you’re a government, bankruptcy is not really an option, so soon or late you will HAVE TO pay back. And the later you start that, the worse it’s going to be.
