In a normal recession we would have already been over it by now. Problem is, the more the government interferes with private economy, the more stagnant it gets. Feds buying stock to keep the stock market up. Government bailouts of banks, GM, and Chrysler, instead of a normal bankrupcy. All it does is throw us into more debt, and the house of cards will come tumbling down soon, within 2-5 years. Hyperinflation will set in and push the economy over. Ron Paul is right about cutting the Federal Budget, Auditing the Federal Reserve, Returing to a Gold standard. However, we are a superpower, what's left of it, and we need to keep our military powerful, but I do agree with shuting down bases in friendly foreign nations, bringing the troops back home, stay out of nations civil wars. However if he isn't nominated, I will vote for the Republican just to get Obama out of office. I think the Republicans have somewhat learned the lessons of what Bush did wrong, based on what they are saying in the debates and their advertisements.
