Where we are now has been set up since the 80's.
To blame it on Obama and the dems since 2006 is just purely idiotic.
Of course that is not to say that they have not carried on the traditions that caused this mess.
Nor deserve no blame for this for 30 years back as do both party's.
I can accept that for the most part. But the past doesn't really interest me. What I want to know is how do we fix it in the future? And who is going to do it?
It cannot really be fixed per sie.
However those who are benefitting the most have no intention of changing anything.
The first thing is to reinstate finiancial regs to keep the junk financing meltdown from happening again.
SS needs adjustments. Some raising of the retirenment age, increasing the max salary that one pays SS withholding on. And forbid congress from spending any future SS surplus.
We need single payor nationalized medical care.
We need tarrifs and such to level the globalalization playing field.
We need to finiancially punish corps who offshore jobs and reward those who keep them here. We need to freeze spending and generate more revenue to balance the budget.
Then in 5 years decrease spending and start paying down the debt with a plan to pay it off in 40 years.
We need to make our military a truely defensive force.
I agree with Ron Paul on this.
