There is a difference between change and talking about change. The Hillary health care plan is basically a hidden tax on the young people of this country. It also creates a mandate stating that you have to get healthcare or you will be fined. I think it should be made available to everyone and it is up to the individual to decide if he/she wants it. In order to have true universal health care you have to go to a single payer system. Taxing the rich does no good (which Obama wants). People are rich and can hire accountants to hide their money. So, once again the middle class will be the grunts of the tax system. In order to have a fair tax system, you should go to a national sales tax. This way you get to decide how much you pay into the system. Iraq is a mess but pulling out makes it no better. Not sure what the solution would be, I feel sorry for whoever gets elected when it comes to Iraq. Change and trying new ideas is good as long as they are good ideas and it is for real change as oppossed to change to get elected.

Now, Hillary better watch her words. She is basically saying that Obama is not experienced enough. Well this is going to come back to bite her or Obama. Neither of them has the experience that McCain has. So if Obama isnt fit, then what makes Hillary more fit to be President than McCain?

The economy is in OK shape. NAFTA has played a HUGE role in our economic struggles. We basically have lost our fundamental economic base (manufacturing). America does not create anything anymore....we serve and that is not good. This started in the Clinton Administration. To add to the bad economy, Greenspan messed around with rates too much during his later years. Bernarke is doing the same.

Whoever is the Pres, they are going to have tons to do with little time to do it. But in my opinion, Obama, Hillary and McCain is not what this country needs right now.
