In these trying times, which presidential candidate do you think is better to fix the shanty town we call our economy?
John McCain with his pseudo-free market economic policies?
Barack Obama with his government funded initiatives?
How about neither? Is it possible neither candidate has a plan to fix the economy? More likely is that neither candidate cares enough about the American people to actually fix the economy. I have come to this conclusion after watching the second presidential debate, the debate focused on the economy and how they will fix it.
If you ask any American what really hurts their wallet, without a doubt it will be the rising cost of oil and food due to inflation. Yet at the debate the word “inflation” was not mentioned once, by either candidate. Why is it the single biggest issue facing our economy in the long run was not addressed?
To put this in perspective lets look at some other terms tossed around:
Iran was said 17 times
Nuclear was said 18 times
“Health Care” was said twenty-eight times
War was said twenty-one times
Even Russia got more stage time than inflation with 21 mentions
All of this in a debate that is about the economy! I think its clear what will happen if either candidate is elected: more of the same inflationary monetary policy that go us into this mess!
Both candidates have some explaining to do, Barack more so than McCain as we expect this from the neo-cons, but Barack is promising change and so far He has failed to deliver.
