I don't necessarily disagree with you Peter.
I am not fan of Repudlicans either. But I am trying to understand how this wonderful miracle of change is going to take place when the revered agent of change holds contradictory views as a basis of his political and economic philosophy
Our economy over the past 30 years has been built on debt, both public and private. Take away the easy credit for the middle and lower middle and you would see virtually no advancement in quality of life respectively. Any economy that does not advance the quality of life of the majority of those who participate is a failure and if you were to put back in place the credit restrictions of 1980 our economy would fall flat on its face. Yes these policies are a failure because they can only be sustained by debt!
As for the miracle change there won't be one. We have been digging this hole for a long time. But we cannot initiate any type of change so long as we continue with the same economic philosophy. John McCain believes in supply-side trickle down and supply-side trickle down is dependent on debt so we know there will be no change under McCain. Whether you agree fully with Obama or not if you think we need a change in economic philosophy he is the only option...
