If the market loses an average of just 100 points for just the next 21 working days - the Republicans will pitifully lose the White House and the US will become a socialist state.

Nobama still thinks it's a good idea to give a home loan to folks that can't repay them, McCain believes Reform is needed. So do you want Change or More of the same.

But lets be perfectly honest. Couple a 700 billion dollar bailout with another 600 billion dollars for the GWOT. Just where does this money come from? I certainly haven't paid more taxes this year to fund any of this. It's being intellectually dishonest to suggest that our entire federal system...defense as well as domestic social spending, is the problem. The Iraq war is as much a primary factor as anything.
The fact is that this bill is coming one way or another. It might be our grandchildren that end up with the mess. The current mess might be the "good ol days".

So which candidate do you believe would be the most effective at controlling government spending?
