My friends and I have really been talking about politics a lot lately and the tremendous problems that face our country right now. In the last debate, only Ron Paul, who has no chance of winning, brought up some of the important issues that we have been talking about. We have to bolster the dollar. We have to start reducing the national debt. This enormous debt we have accumulated has put us at the mercy of other countries like China. China and India are going to be huge players in the world market even more than they already are.
We have to find better sources of energy. I can't remember who said it but one of the Republicans - we need to stop paying the people who are funding terrorists. We are paying to fight the war against them and we are paying to funding them every time we go the gas station. It is ridiculous but we have an oil man for a president. There is no getting around it. Plus, those companies are compounding the hardship on the American people by making record profits off of us.
I do agree with Sen. Edwards. He said the lobbyist and some companies are ruining this country but it is also our political system. It cost so much money to run a campaign now that the politicians feel like they have to take the lobbyists' money. I don't have the answers but I hope we can elect someone who has at least a few.
