rtaylor, you seem well read. Can any of the canidates end this crap. Seems McCain is going to be the same things again. The Dems tend to raise my taxes........whats your thought?


McCain is an X factor candidate. He's old school in the sense that he'll say whatever it takes to get into office. A lot of his statements are against his very long voting record, so I assume he's just trying to solidify his conservative base (they don't really like him). He's about as liberal as you can get (As far as a Republican is concerned), and though he's all buddy buddy with Bush, he really doesn't like the little twit.

Hillary is not to be trusted. She campaigns on experience, but she really has none. She barely has the political experience Obama has, yet she campaigns on that platform? She is basically a person who will take a phrase and repeat it until you're brain washed. She has an agenda, but no one knows what it is. She changes her tune to fit the audience, and when called on it, backtracks and tries to 'clarify' every statement. I don't think she has the balls (no pun intended) to affect any significant change, especially based on the fact that Republican members of the House and Senate absolutely despise her existence. The next president will need to be able to bring people together to develop a bipartisan consensus, and she clearly does not have that ability, and never will.

Obama is untested, and really hasn't set out any clear vision, but he is one thing. Inspirational, and he does have the respect of Republican Party members (although you won't see that during the election). He does have the ability to bring the country together, but I'm not really sure about his vision. If he's elected, I see him putting together a broad and diverse cabinet of liberals and conservatives and working to eliminate a lot of these issues.

In short, Hillary is untouchable in my book. She can't beat McCain anyway, and if she did, she'd be a hot stinking messy disaster. (Of course, so was Bush...)

Obama is dynamic and intelligent, and I do believe he'd try his damnedest to change the country for the best. I just don't know what his idea of the best is. If he'd clarify that, I'd have no second thoughts about voting for him. (I voted for him in the Primaries, but I'm not sure what I'll do in the General...)

McCain is a known maverick and rebel, but you really don't know what he'd do once he was in office. He's not an oil man, so at least he's got that going for him.

All in all, taxes don't have to be raised, the war is sucking the life out of the economy. It may have to be stopped or scaled back. Those three know that, regardless of the campaign rhetoric.

David Walker is the comptroller general for the US. He's our accountant. I study this stuff and we're screwed. No politician wants to do anything because they will be voted out of office.

The euro is sustainable. Gates took his money out of the dollar and invested in the Euro. China owes half our debt. They are propping us up right now because it would be disasterous for their economy.

Our exports are up, imports are down and we are creating jobs in the US at a faster rate because the dollar is weak. China is the flagship country for deflating its own currency so that it will export more and increase its job level.

The US government is deflating the value of the dollar on purpose.
Who can seriously imagine a mainstream american politician saying the “we must abolish the global dollar standard and accept a major devaluation of our currency, in light of new world economic realities; recognize our declining status as the world’s largest debtor nation; accept a further major fall in our living standards on top of the 20% fall since 1973; cut social services to the bone, and bring exports into surplus over exports to begin repaying our huge outstanding debts”?

I hate Hillary with a passion. If she becomes the Democratic Presidential nominee, I'm voting for McCain, even though he's a hawk.

With Australian Employment Rises More Than Estimated, Jobless Rate Falls to 4% .Raising Australian and New Zealand dollars to the highest in more than a week against the U.S. currency after government reports suggested economic growth in the two nations is accelerating. Aussie is cool place to move

Im kinda pissed cause Im going to Greece next week and this trip costing a hell of alot more then it shouldmad ....

I guess the gigs up with the dollar, its not back by much these days and we have way to much debt....The U.S. needs to cut the credit cards up and start paying some debt down and then maybe the dollar can be saved...Just my thoughts :)


Time to invest in euros.

The only way to pay down the debt is to end the war, as well as stimulate industry and the infrastructure.

In other words, put more people to work and more dollars in their pockets so they can buy more goods and services.

Also, try to pay down our huge debts with China and Mexico.

Look into specialized mutual funds. The thing is you are getting in on the tail end so the returns may not be that great.

I heard Hillary is considering Monika Lewinsky as her vice president if she wins the nomination. Why Monika? Well they both have about the same amount of presidential experience.
