My economy is bad so therefore I will be voting Obama, the last 4 years are horrendous and McCain will continue that.

You seem to be very young. Would you say you get a lot of pro Democrat or ant-Republican or GWB talk from your teachers at school? I'm a long time out of school so I'm just curious. I hear this is going on. I'm no fan of GWB myself but, I can't stand zealots.

Increasing the size of government and taxes isn't the way to get out of an economic slowdown - and here's something to remember : George Bush isn't on the ballot.

And gutting the military. If Obama is elected people will beg for the good ole days of 1979.

Not just the outward military but also the intelligence that Clinton gutted. We had no human intelligence on the ground in dangerous countries when Clinton left.

Increasing or decreasing the size of the government or lowering taxes isn't the answer either. We've had vibrant, healthy economic cycles when taxes were decreased AND increased. They're 2 separate issues.

If you look at the US and worldwide economies, there is instability based upon incredible imbalance. In every macro-segment of the economic machine, we can find huge imbalances.

-world currencies
-stock prices vs. profit
-Home prices vs incomes
-The federal deficit

All of these desperately need to find their NATURAL balance or we'll have continued volatility. Which ever candidate gets elected, all eyes will be upon him. And the ironic thing is, no president except maybe FDR has or will have a significant impact on economic trends. They are not supposed to. At least in a free-market, capitalistic society where natural laws of supply & demand guide the markets.

I dont know about you, but we were in much better shape after 8 years of Clinton than we are after 8 years of GWB.
