Here is where I find myself back in 3rd America. The economy. One thing I think I've really come a long way on is how the economy plays into our future. We definitely need to fix it. The question is, do we raise taxes and cut military programs like Obama promotes? Or do we keep taxes low and depend on business to bring the economy back up to speed as McCain backs? I think neither of these is the complete solution. If McCain brings in Romney that will go a long way towards solidifying him as the total package. McCain clearly has the national security thing down. He is strong on values. The only area he lacks is on the economy. If he can bring in a good VP with proven experience in this area, he will have a great chance in November.
Here is an excellent presentation (thanks Rodney) on the economy and national budget and how it works. It's pretty hard to follow at first, but it gets really easy to follow and really good about midway...

Thanks for the link to the Perot website link.
Have you seen the I.O.U.S.A. movie website, or the downloadable PDF on “The State of the Union’s Finances)” toward the bottom of the page? Also, here’s a link to the backer of these websites, the Peter G. Peterson Foundation.
FYI – The primary focus of all these presentations is not the economy, but the ENORMITY of the $9.3T federal debt, and the >$50T unfunded liabilities thru just 2040.
How is EVERY ONE of the issues the politicians and media are leading us to focus on not COMPLETE DWARFED by the federal debt and unfunded liabilities? Seems to me, unless we deal immediately with our financial house, it soon won’t matter what ANYONE thinks about ANY of the other current issues…
