Its going to get worse, it just depends on what you hate most that news cycle.

Comparing McCain to Bush is a complete waste of time. They are not alike. Lots of people voted for Clinton over Bush and said exactly the same thing. In 76 Carter convinced voters that 4-5 % unemployment and inflation was a disaster and the public was mad at Ford over the pardon for Nixon and a lot of voters were pissed off over Vietnam. And Carter, was a complete disaster. Interest rates went over 20%, Unemployment was very high, Gold was 900 an oz. Our military was a disaster.

Our current situation was started by Mortgage companies, rating companies, and other financial markets that resold risky loans over and over. The cheap money and lax credit standards inflated the growth of the housing market. The fundamentals of the market could not be sustained and the large banks like Citi and Bear Stearns and others, had now lost a business sector and dont have the profits and business to replace it.

Many Large company profits were coming from overseas in new and high growth markets, like china, india, south korea. They have experienced inflation due to massive growth and have been raising interest rates to combat that. The value of their currency goes up and ours is reduced accordingly. Of late, the overseas stock markets are also suffering. China markets have dropped over 50%. They buy a lot of our coal and are drilling oil in cuban waters.

Subsidized Ethanol is a disaster and will only get worse under Obama. Tom Daschel is a lobbyist for the ethanol industry. He use to be Senate Majority leader. His wife was the Boeing lobbyist. I Hope you dont run an outboard. All the debate over alternative energy is focused on government spending. They dont like oil or coal and although wind and solar are great, they are more expensive. Subsidies only create dependent business and energy is going to be in play, if government takes over alternative energy investment. We and the oil companies will pay for it. govt will control that and they will also control the votes that are associates with alternative energy susidies. If businesses are able to invest as they see fit, taxpayers will be better off. I know that I cant mount a wind turbine, solar panel or a nuclear reactor to my truck. I need cheaper gas and democrats dont want to drill for it. Period.

I hope you like canadian health care. They have health care lotteries up there for a shorter waiting period for procedures etc. Those that can afford it, come down here. If you think they care about your actual health, you are wrong. They claim to care about education which is worse than ever and the politicians and the rich guys send their kids to Sidwell Friends in washington DC, while everyone else is stuck with public education. Future leaders are not coming out of public school, they come out of private schools. Look at the colleges where politicians came from. Most of them went to Harvard or Yale. Everthing else is run of the mill.

We will have hospitals for the rich and the equivelant of public schools for hospitals for the rest of us. Medicare doesnt cover everything and so if you cant afford it, you die earlier. Hope your next newborn doesnt run into problems and fall thru the cracks. Your doctor will probably have to join a union, like the nurses do.
