State of the Economy

We're all being hit with higher prices on everything, but no higher incomes. There are times it really does worry me. I know we can let our minds wander, and make things worse than they actually are, but things are looking bleak-in my opinion.

Yet, in an election time, we're not hearing much from our candidates on how they are going to handle this. I know McCain and Obama came out today and said a few things, but they didn't really answer all of our questions. I don't know that they ever will, really. I know McMcain is ready to continue tax cuts to big business, and all Bush's tax cuts. I know Obama has come out and said he wants to give more tax cuts to the middle class and families with children. That sounds great. But, how are we really going to get our economy back to where it needs to be? Back to a point where not all companies are looking at layoffs just to survive, where filling up your gas tank didn't cost 2 arms and 2 legs, where a gallon of milk didn't cost more than an hour of minimum wage.

At the end of the day, I would like them to be more specific. This is incredibly important, I want to know what I will be voting for, not a glossed over version of the truth.

I have always been republican, big Bush supporter (hate me if you will) but now I find myself identifying with democrats more each day......

I would love to see more efforts to save the environment, more efforts to help the middle class, and more jobs of value so people can actually earn a decent living. Though, I don't think we should bring all the troops home just yet, and I don't agree with having illegals (without work visas) in our country, and supporting their children.

Well, one thing I can say for certain, this election with be heated, and it will be interesting......
