I don't really think so. There is no way they can pay for all the promises they have made, esp if Obama is elected. Our society is about to take it in the shorts economically in the name of fixing all that needs to be fixed. I am not a fan of wealth redistribution, taxes, and the government telling me what I can and cannot do (with reasonalble exceptions).

Nobody wants to pay for the things they don't believe in. For me, it's the Iraq war.

So we shouldn't even attempt to fix some of the problems?
And guess what, we're already taking it in the shorts on the micro-economic scale. The macro is just starting to catch up.

Can't be, DanaC. They are brothers under the skin, never been anything else, and every Fascist leader that ever was spent time as a Socialist. Read von Kühnelt-Leddihn and see if you can still hold that view.

Excuse the interruption. Isn't the thread title "When it becomes Hillary v McCain"? I really hate to stop this love fest, but isn't Hillary as over as W is?

Don't worry, Obama will act like he loves us for 20 years, then when we embarrass him a couple times he'll drop us like so much used kleenex. It's called "conviction fence-sitting."

Thanks Monkey. This is all any reasonable person needs to prove that McCain is insane and he belongs nowhere near the whitehouse or in any other part of government. America was most certainly not founded on Judeo-Christian ethics, principles, or doctrine.

Sure we should. Who is going to pay for it and how?

Considering that Bush is intending to pay for 100 plus years of occupation in Iraq, let's say we cut that and spend it on things we need.

Not an answer. Show me the money.

First we have to pay for what we have on credit. You understand that, sort of like a credit card. Ok? Then after we pay for that how do we pay for all the social programs?

I know! we use the liberal left idea and tax corps and people who make money!

So what do we do when Exxon or other big corps say fuck it, see ya! wouldn't want to be ya! We will just set up shop in the Gulf of Oman and fuck you we are moving next week! Then what?

People who have money say fuck you I will just find better ways to legally shelter mine and give less to charity (people like me), or pay myself, hire all of my kids and my wife (legally) and you get shit!

COOL! then what?
