Obama Policy: Economy, page 3

The reason America trusts Obama on economics is because they SEE for themselves what the rights brand of economic policies LOOK LIKE.

Their policies make socialism look a whole lot better than continuing down the road we are on. So really, we can thank the republicans for socialism.

This is true. I am one of those people. Ive witnesses a nation of gluttony that continues to spend recklessly. A nation at peace, that under Reagan began to be a nation at war. Preemptive strike wars and a corporate economy that is being exposed as near criminal, that we the people are now having to save.

In regards to socialism, were moving that way even if we dont say we our.
Democratic Socialism. Everyone loves a government job. Benefits, retirements, standards. Its the free economy that sees people with no insurance, under paid, irregular work hours, and no oversight of abuse in many areas.

Ralph Nader says that the reason Capitalism keeps working, is that Socialism keeps bailing it out. Check this video:

Plain and simple, we trust Obama in his intent, much more then we trust McCain in his concept. Republican Voodoo economics, and the trickle down theory has shown that the rich have taken outrageous risks with that money, the banks have played a dangerous game, and corporations, in their greed have even lied to attract investors.

Thats one brand of economics Im not wanting to see. I agree with the post above this one. Socialism is looking a whole lot better. I prefer to call is Altruism. Good for all of us, and not a select few.

In an interview I once read, it was talking about the abuses in Nigeria. How is it, that a nation rich with oil, has a population that lives on less then a dollar a day. Here is the response.

The causes, not necessarily in order, were, one, colonialism, two, exploitative capitalism and, three, the failure of Nigerian politicians who were often the local collaborators of multinational corporations.

In reflecting on issues and problems in American, we only need to look at a 3rd world nation to see some of the problems that are plaguing our own country.

Nigeria is a rich nation in oil, yet lets her people live in poverty. We have 50 million Americans without health insurance and 34 Million living in poverty. Where are our priorities? From Clinton, to Bush, Nixon to Reagan, how does this happen?

Obama: from health care to the common man, his voice and his heart sees the injustice and the abuse.

Obama is a step towards ending this pattern.
