Our problem is the government. The ENTIRE government.

The only one who wants to drastically change the government? Ron Paul.

He has my vote.


So unlike obama, you think Ron Paul will be able to handle congress and make the changes that we need. 

 

How will he go about that? It seemed obama's heart was in the right place as well, but ever last thing seemed to be debated for ever! we barely did not default because no one was able to agree on any strategies. Now our rating has gone down and might again.

 

Our Government is Bull!

No one can handle congress.  As you said, "Our Government is Bull" and congress is the worst part. 

The way to handle a hostile congress (that will probably get even worse next term) is to move some of the power away from them.  You would do that by moving away from an evergrowing Central Government and moving the power back to the states.  

There are some things that should NOT be privatized (The Miliary, Police Form, Judicial System, etc) but everything else should be moved either out of the governments blanket control to the states or made private.  

As for our rating...I really do not think it should have gone down in the first place (neither did the other 2 rating companies), but I think it needed to.  How better to show America how our fiscal policies are terrible than to hit us where we will all feel it, in the pocketbook.
