On a more serious note I agree with the debt issue you bring up, I agree with promoting a strong greenback, and I also agree that Hillary Clinton is not the person to do just that. What America needs is a timely, acceptable conclusion to the conflicts abroad that drain the country of money, a clawback of domestic spending, and to resist the urges to create new entitlement programs. Over time as debt is paid back to an acceptable level (25% of annual GDP), people and businesses will be able to perform at a high level and the fruits of their labor will go towards rewarding themselves as opposed to paying back creditors.
My questions surrounding Obama is whether or not he can resist the urges to spend on new social programs domestically. The problem with electing a Democrat in office is that they always come with the usual left-wing economic baggage, not because they themselves espouse to those leanings but rather good factions of their supporters do. Same can be said for electing a Republican president when it comes to religious baggage. |
According to what Obama has said, actually according to what all 3 candidates have said....Obama, compared to the others will be spending more than everyone else.
Which isn't a problem in itself....the problem is spending it on stuff that isn't needed.
That means pissing off certain politicians and refusing to allow a budget bill to go through unless its balanced.
I doubt it will happen though.
