While I may agree with the discussions relating to the Democratic Party, as I do not support their positions, I do not support the Republican positions either. We must look at each Party where we can find both the good and parts of each.
With the Republican's not supporting the inrease of taxes they have made this country the biggest debter nation in the world. Over the last 7 years we have borrowed one & one-half Trillion dollars from China to pay for the Iraq war. This debt will start to come due in 25 years for our children to pay. This is the same as though we all took out 2nd, 3rd and 4th mortgages on our homes to buy all our desires. The problem is we can live well today but we will collapse in the end.
Neither Party will discuss the real problems in our society. Social Security financies, Medicare costs, Medicaid costs, ballance of payments, national deficit, failing education, illegal people in this country, lobyists money on both Party's sides, etc.
Neither side encourages me.
