LOL, on that questionaire about who to vote for, Huckabee was like 88% in line with how I feel. Obviously, he's not in line with how you feel but that's the whole issue. America votes for who 'they' feel will best represent 'their' views. This is why politics suck so bad. I have a lot of respect for you as a person, but I'd be willing to bet that if the guy you like got in office I would be disappointed. With 300 million people, there will NEVER be any one man or woman that everyone likes. And, IMO, to go middle of the road doesn't do any good either because both sides will have something to complain about. There are too many different people in this country for there ever to be a 'good' president in the eyes of the entire country. No matter what they accomplish, they will piss off someone. Let's say for example a Republican gets in office and some how creates a way to get the economy booming, the unemployment rate drops to 1/2 a percent, everything economically is awesome....but....he's not for gay marriage. Not matter how great the economy is, people will be pissed because some will feel he has no right to tell people who they can and can't marry. Now, flip side, some Democrat get's in office and fixes all our foreign relationships, lets gays get married then we go into a recession. Everyone that loses their homes, jobs, etc will blame him and call him the worst president ever because the country tanked on his watch.
No matter who is in office, someone will be upset and complain, that's the way it's been for decades and it will always be that way IMO.
I would love for their to be one person that everyone likes, but that would require that this country develop a common personality. That's not going to happen, so we get to have this constant battle between left and right. And, the truth is, neither side is wrong and neither side is right because it's all based on personal belief and feelings.
Arguably the worst problem of the economy is the housing market. It hits home to so many americans. From the single family home owner to corporate America, and everyone in between. It isn't just numbers on paper. Families are loosing their homes. Financial institutions have went belly up. Houses are loosing dollar value day by day. It is the biggest economic problem. The seed of this economic nightmare was planted in the Bill Clinton era.
This issue arose because banks and lenders got greedy, and you had alot of ignorant borrowers. anybody with half a brain knows that ARMs are a good idea in a very small number of situations. Too many borrowers got into too much house (their own fault), and lenders snaked a bunch of them into those houses trying to make a quick buck (again the lenders fault). Both sides got slammed. This is not a govt issue. This was an issue that arose out of greed, and IMO, the govt (US, the taxpayers) should NOT bail out either the big lenders or the families that made the dumb mistake. The lenders and borrowers made their bed, let them lie in it.
