and it is....

So I am making the thread in hopes of a intellectual talk about the current state of American finances. Anyone who has done their homework knows that America can be mnemonic of "teenage girl on a shopping spree with daddy's credit card".

This issue is fairly black and white to those who actually study American politics and look pass the ignorant issues shown in most media.

I am a fiscal conservative and will be voting for Obama. The reason for this is because he is admitting he will be raising taxes. Now I hate taxes simply because I view them as unconstitutional but with the current state of the American government and all of the entitlements that will be soon slapping us in the face, we are in desperate need of more money. This is issue is far from political, it is not even about America it is about people.

So what do we do. There is an obvious need for taxes to below because this generates disposable income. Disposable income buys stuff, blah blah blah basic economics.

My current issue is who do I trust, Democrats, notoriously known for the tax increases as well as their increases to entitlements or Republicans which are the vice versa.

Share your opinions or just fucking bitch about how stupid people are.

P.S. I.O.U.S.A is out tommorow watch for great justice.

I've never really understood the logic behind the hatred for oil companies and the people who wish to drill for oil in the US.  It's like saying that American public land is so special that we would rather ship off jobs and money to other countries just so that we won't have to risk spilling any drops of oil or developing on that land (even though said countries probably have lower environmental standards).

A more intelligent position would be to drill for oil here but add a minimum price for oil/gasoline so as to encourage development into renewable and alternative energies and to make people drive less.
