A recent AP poll indicates nearly fifty percent, actually forty eight percent of the public believes that a pull out from Iraq will remedy our economic problems followed by spending more on domestic problems with cutting taxes at the bottom of possible solutions to our financial crisis yet not one mainstream candidate seems to give a damn about what the public thinks about the war or the economy.
In fact the Republicans continue to chant the mantra about cutting taxes reflecting not only how out of step they are with the public but how out of touch they are with reality.
Something should have clicked with the electorate when they all wanted to mirror Reagan’s tax cuts which started us off on this journey to poverty as a nation to finance the war against the evil empire of the USSR.
Reagan’s economic approach resulted in a one trillion dollar deficit which boy Bush has tripled following the same simple minded cure to stimulating the economy by cutting taxes of the rich to finance a war which their class won’t be fighting against the axis of evil created by the evil empire which replaced the Soviet Union.
Yeah right like the rich are going to invest in business, create more jobs which pay higher wages instead of investing in their own financial portfolios not the nation’s financial future especially if that means creating more jobs outside the country and paying workers less there and nothing here.
Imagine having an extra two billion dollars plus each week for our needs here at home instead of fighting a war on terrorism fabricated by the sick and slick minds in Washington for the profit of the big oil business like Exxon, the defense industry like the Haliburtons, and the security sector monopolized by Blackwater.
Recently Willard Mitt Romney dropped out of the Republican race by playing the same fear card that Republicans have been playing to support corporate greed for decades whether it was Communists, drug cartels, and now terrorists when he said it was time to unite the party so that a Democrat wouldn’t be elected President only to surrender to the terrorists.
I still don’t know what the hype was about Willard’s financial success. I mean he backed his failed campaign with his children’s inheritance much like he would have done with the financial future of the country by having our children pay off the debt for his attempts to be more like Reagan than the rest.
At least Hillary was bright enough to “lend” her campaign five million dollars which the media claims she “gave” to her campaign so that those who contribute to her political ambitions are kept in the dark from the truth that they are now repaying her debt. As for McCain’s plan for the economy he now claims he will support keeping those proven failed for all but a few tax cuts and admitted he doesn’t know much about the economy. I have no idea where Obama stands on the economy but could it be any worse that Mrs. Slick Willie or the war mongering McCain?
