Absolutely, I think that is one of the reasons the Republican Party is in the position it is now, because it got too drunk on its own power. Lets hope the Democrats can do better. At least some of the things the Democrats are advocating actually need to get done, such as energy reform and healthcare reform. |
The problem is, Obama seems largely ignorant of the economic realities of the world.
There isn't a single substantive policy area (especially areas like health) that can be looked at independently of economics. Obama's stated health care plan is going to have the horrendous result of shifting more health care costs to the state, and increasing them overall.
I really like Obama as a man, and think he believes in everything he says. I just think his economic ineptitude could get America and the world in a lot of trouble if he doesn't have some very intelligent economists in his ear for the next 4-8 years.
On the other hand, America's global image will get an enormous boost from this, and talking to Iran and Syria is a great idea.

Aren't we better off spending our money on healthcare than the war in Iraq? I mean Republicans have had no problem shipping American tax dollars abroad, why not keep some of them here? Its not like healthcare is like passing out free TV's or something to everybody, it is something that people should be able to access regardless of how rich or poor they are.

we have socialized heath care... it's used by Veterans... if you google that I'm sure you'll find the countless horror stories. This county doesn't need socialized health care... it needs someone to start kicking some asses up at these companies that keep screwing us over... insurance and pharmisudicals(sp?)
