…..than that for Obama. Most of his talk about “Change” was just the tangential, “sound-good” stuff that would help him get elected. I believe his real focus and lifelong mission for “change” is simply to make Capitalism “more fair”. Which will screw us all. He doesn’t understand basic economics, both the incentives needed to take risks for businesses in our economy…….nor the nature of govt that becomes too large when it starts consuming 40% of GDP. Nor the importance of drilling for our own oil to keep cash here while we’re trying to get out of the recession. He doesn’t understand that his idea of “change”, which is really just redistributing income even more than already occurs………will give our economy zero chance of recovering, and will hasten us to a depression. That’s just my prediction. I hope at least the “Blue Dog” Democrats will thwart his socialist tendencies. Ah, the economic-illiteracy of our voters is depressing, isn’t it?
