“This all stems from rotten leadership...From the top down.”
That may be partly true. Bush has been reckless with his support for spending.
Obama would certainly continue the trend and indeed multiply it, which is why everyone should vote McCain.
McCain will cut spending.
Considering that McCain has few real principles, and no knowledge of economic principles, I believe he will join the stimulus crowd as the cries of the Keynesians will drown out any sensible economists.
He will avoid like the plague any policy that will tar him with the same brush that blackened Herbert Hoover's reputation, the reputation for being stingy in the face of great need.
If things went well with the economy, McCain might be grudgingly applauded for being stingy. In bad times, it won't look so good. And other than on immigration, McCain doesn't like looking bad.
