Obama vs. McCain on Fiscal Responsibility

The great empires in world history have all been done in by greed and over-reaching for political and economic power. As of this time, the U.S., is headed down that path, inspired by the delusionary leadership of those Republican icons, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush and John McCain. Wealth is being concentrated in the hands of the few, while a sufficient cohort of social conservatives has been swindled into thinking that they should go along for the ride.

Obama is right. The greatness of this country has never resided in its military or its economic power. It resides in our principal of government of the people, by the people and for the people and government that is responsible, not just to the greed of the moment, but to future generations. That means that tax cuts for the rich, waging a tragically mistaken war and passing the bill along to future generations is not only disastrous policy, disastrously conceived and disastrously executed, it is fundamentally un-American. My vote is for an authentic American patriot, Barack Obama.
