In 1980 our yearly trade deficit was -19 Billion. In 2008 here is how bad it has gotten: A. Our national debt is now 9 Trillion B. Our annual trade deficit is now -800 Billion. We have not had a trade surpus with the world since 1974. We have not had a trade surplus with Japan since April, 1976. Do you think a $250.00 tax cut is the answer? Folks, we need industrial output. Not tax cuts! What say you? Regards, Ames Tiedeman Here is what we have done to the U.S. Economy since 1980:

A. Our national debt is now 9 Trillion

Hundreds of thousands of households spent and consumed at a higher rate than they otherwise would have because they had money which they borrowed against phantom home equity. Hundreds of thousands more Americans enjoyed the accoutrements of middle-class status - such as home ownership - even though they could not afford a down payment and were not sophisticated enough consumers to appreciate the perils of hybrid-ARM and other non-traditional mortgages. Which candidates believe that the economy is experiencing a necessary correction, and that interfering with it is contrary to more sound principles of free market economics?

Others have little to offer in terms of specificity. She's outlined what she plans to do on many issues if folks would take the time to do some research. The Economy...she nailed it! The housing crisis...and believe me, it not only affects those who got involved with shady lenders. If my neighbors house tanks, mine sure isn't appreciating! She nailed it! Global Warming...she nailed it! National and International Issues...She nailed it! Vote Hillary Rodham Clinton for President, experience to get it done! Hillary Clinton has the best plan.

However, what I realized is that no matter how much factual information I provide, people fail to listen. So that is why I kept it short and sweet, and no, I am not voting for her just because she is a woman (but I like the change there), but because she is the most qualified. I have spent 7 straight days researching each candidate and can flood you with information if you wish. But in blogs like these, most people don't have the time or patience to read postings to completion. Thank you, and please do not dare call me shallow because I have 50+ pages of data that I've gatherd about each candidate and happen to be quite an accomplished person myself and overcame greater obstacles than Barack Obama.

Seriously though, for all of you cliche-using one-liner specialists up there: As a country we need to put all of the partisan politics and the "if you're not for me you're my enemy" mentality behind us. Clinton already has a 47% disapproval rating...AND SHE ISN'T EVEN THE DEM CANDIDATE YET!!! How is that going to bring the country together? Let's put it another way: would any of the libs reading this website EVER vote for another Bush in office? Well that is the way conservatives feel about the Clintons. It's not rocket science people. We need someone to unite us...someone who realizes that we may disagree but we are all still citizens of the same country. Obama has consistently received support across the isle. Just today the Republican gov. of SC wrote an op-ed praising the type of campaign that Obama is running. Time and again Obama has demonstrated that he knows how to get things done (cooperation). Another Clinton Administration would be mired in the same gridlock the Clinton #1 faced (and one that strikingly resembles our current state of government.) Moreover, Obama has the ability to repair our reputation abroad. I remember when America was respected throughout the world and our great nation stood for freedom, opportunity and hard work, not greed, corruption and arrogance. Look at what France and Germany have written about Obama in the past week or two. Comparisons to JFK / MLK Jr. / and Abraham Lincoln (yes you read that correctly) have been appearing consistently. I think we can all agree that is a pretty amazing group to be compared to (and sad since they were all assassinated) As a community organizer in Illinois, Obama showed the type of leadership that is truly effective. Other than the patriot act, what level of government has a daily effect on the lives of citizens...state and local government. These are the people who shape the communities that we live in, they just don't get the respect / spotlight they deserve. Obama has been making a difference in the community for a long time now...just because he wasn't in the national spotlight does not mean he doesn't have the experience. If you don't want to vote for the guy that is one thing, but don't turn to the type of devisive partisan politics generally reserved for conservatives and liberals. Come on man, they share a lot of the same views and belong to the same party. This just gives the right-wingers more ammunition in the next presidential election.

The Senator pre-empted unemployment cost overruns, provided a necessary moratorium which will allow lower interest rates (barring fed inaction) and stave off many foreclosures. The plan also put responsibility in state's hands so they can more individually target the underlying economics of the housing crisis in their own region. Finally, the proposal addresses the need for stocking up on oil and vehicle-usable alternative energy. The plan will cost-effectively delay a recession and may weather out the downturn enough to stabilize the economy. Overall, I have to say this is the best economic plan for the Mortgage Situation that I have seen to date.

The only reason Hillary Clinton is thrusting this 35 years experience out there to the American people is because she absolutely wants them to forget she voted to invade Iraq. She wants the American people to ignore the blood that's on her hands, American and Iraqi. That's why she keeps brain washing 35 years 35 years 35 years 35 years. Dig deep and you will see there was nothing done in those 35 years other than her being in the senate and on the face of the earth. This '35 years' is a good offense, a great distraction, and as long as the people take it to their bosom, she wil continue it, she sees it works. It's a good offense which is the best defense, an offense. Hillary is not strong, she's no stronger than any other woman, we all are built to have babies. She is not presidential. Bill wants to get back in the white house and this is their modus operandi to get him back in there. But as Mark Simon on WABC brought up this morning on his radio show, would it be illegal for Bill Clinton to be back in the white house since a president doesn't serve any more than 2 terms which he has done? And since Hillary claims to have worked on everything he did, that would mean that she was in the white house 2 terms too so that would mean their returning would be illegal(? ). A very very good question. Hm... What's she gonna promise next, a pink Cadillac?

His plans spend much less to help the lower and middle class with healthcare and improving the economy. The highest 1% of Billionares pay for it by going to the Tax Rates they had before Bush changed the Tax Laws.

We spend on the war like it was nothing and it hasn't helped my wallet any. Let's spend that money at home where it can do some real good. Tax cuts are useless for the middle class with the rate of inflation, but raising corporate taxes will raise a ton of money to be used for this package or others like it. Hillary at least is trying to give real answers to our economic plight. She is showing experience here! I agree with Phil in Memphis.

Have you heard of anything that incompetent. Now there's an election, she's promising you healthcare again just like Bill did - with an unworkable mandatory plan. The theory is that if you can fool them once, you can always fool them. Get it? She thinks you're an idiot. As Geffen says, "the Clintons lie with such ease, it's troubling". and the NY Times' William Safire called her a "congenital liar". Hillary flunked healthcare. She flunked Iraq. She flunked Iran. She flunked Pakistan. She even flunked the Washington bar exam twice, and is a serial failure as a housewife. That's her record on important matters - her so-called experience. She cannot even take care of her household, but wants to be your president, and leader of the free world, with her fingers on the nuclear arsenal. Would you bet on an old horse that in its younger days collapsed every time it came out of the gate? Bill is a huge security risk to the USA as he is susceptible to anything that comes along in a skirt. We cannot have a sexual predator running around the White House, with a hysterical nutcase in charge. We need intelligent and honest leadership. Obama is a brilliant and visionary leader with a powerful brain. He graduated first in his class at Harvard. That's not easy. He's a uniter that gets all the difficult things right.

We don't like Romney. He used the State to get to WH as much as Obama used an unfinished freshman term in the Senate to get to the WH. Romney did nothing for Massachusetts. But, he does have executive experience and I would probably vote for Romney long before I'd cast a vote for Baracka Hussein Obama. I will absolutely vote for Hillary first though.

While Obama prances and dances around the stage, waving his arms, spouting his message of "hope", and "fired up and ready to go", chanting "Yes, we can", Hillary is busy getting out real messages and plans that matter to real people. God bless Hillary. She is exactly the kind of leader we need at this critical time in our nation's history. Obama talks the talk while Hillary walks the walk.

Silly people. Obama has "been to the mountain". He wants to take us there. If we all "go to the mountain", then we won't need our current houses and won't need to pay any of our bills. We'll be all set. Obama is really really great and he is such a good talker. Instead of "Yes we can" or "change we can believe in", I propose "take us to the mountain".
