I guess I've got a lot more confidence in this country's ability to withstand hard times than some of you, but then, maybe I've been around a bit longer. We'll survive and America will survive--even if the commie gets elected. The pendulum swings both ways and as horid as the thought is that Osama might be elected, it might be the catalyst that would bring on a wide swing to the right.
A President can only do so much, especially if Congress and the Supreme Court don't get too far out of balance. I think our founders put a lot of thought into the make up of our government and it has withstood the test of time. Our founder's wisdom is about to be tested once again. I'm betting we'll be okay, but the road is getting kind of bumpy.
Yes, but Congress is too far out of balance. Obama & a Socialist Demoncrap Congress can do harm like never before. This does not mean that I am going to scream that everyone has to vote for McCain, deal with the situation in the way
that you think is best. It's just a bad situation, which no one can solve for now at least. My choice is to vote for Palin
& yes, I know that that she is not running for Pres. I doubt McCain dies in his first term, but Palin could likely be the 2nd. However, McCain voting for the bailout was a setback for me & it is a matter of record that McCain warned about FM & FM & tried to introduce leg. to block it, but you know what, he voted for it now, which was really stupid. Not only that, but if he had even told the people about the pork & said he would vote on a bill with the pork out, say 400Billion or less, I would have at thought he tried & no I would not like that bill either, but he would have shown some care, but noooooo. Again, I did not want any bill, but it was a mind blower that he jest bought in to it. So, I am amazed. It makes me staying with my choice a little less than 100% now. But Mr. Paul is not in the race & I don't like Barr, so it's a rough situation.
As far as Americans being able to handle a deep Depression, I don't think so, at least not in mass. In 1929, most folks were Rural & knew how to grow crops, can & have livestock & had a few acres. Now most people are Urban or Suburban & don't know how to grow their own food. And another biggie is the the Moral makeup is not the same. I don't see people in the cities willing to just be in a breadline & work any job for a buck or 2. Many feel entitled & have no scrupples & their will be killing in the streets to
TAKE whatever they want, I believe we will have anarcy.
The irony of this is that the areas where the Libs live & the Libs themselves likely will suffer the most.
This whole thing is one of those things I would like to be wrong about.
