and it is....
300!!!

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.

The only reason to vote for McCain (beyond wanting to turn the Middle East into glass) is that he won't roll over for Reid and Pelosi to the extent that Obama will.  Obama will be little more than the happy stamper of approval for all things domestic, since he'll lack the courage to say no to Democrats who might then not vote to reelect him.  That's not counting his campaign promises, which could easily amount to over $1 trillion a year and would only increase in size as time passes.

McCain would be much better for the US economy if for no other reason than he might veto something.  His Cold War-style belligerence is a huge turn-off though.  Obama's let's hold hands and be friends foreign policy is incredibly naive, but at least it's cheap.  Unless of course we get stuck in a War on African AIDS/tyranny/poverty/malaria which seems pretty likely given the number of times he's mentioned Sudan. But anyway...

McCain in '08
Because he's not in the same party as Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, and he probably won't make it to a second term.
