Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney, Who would make a better president?

Typical recoveries from recessions, even ones fundamentally worse off than this one, start as soon as the recession is over. We are now in month 38 of "recovery", the actual recession ending in July 2009. This, over two years after the declaration of “Recovery Summer” by the Administration.

This is because of the business-hostile environment the Obama Administration has created. The constant threats of tax hikes (2/3 of small business and their owners are effected by the high-end Bush tax cut extensions), the machine gun of regulatory red-tape spewing out from Washington, a pathological hatred of oil, coal or anything that does not fit the utopian ideal of "green" energy, blowing past and even accelerating past the "bridge out" .

At 9/30/2000, when Republicans took over the presidency, National Debt was $5.6T. By Nov 2008 (before Obama was elected) National Debt was $10T. By Jan 20th (Inaguration Day) - it was almost $11T.

The increase was due to severe tax breaks to the wealthy (2000), War in Afghan (2002 to now), War in Iraq (2003 - 2008 or so), and then financial institution bailout in October 2008. Going into Iraq was irresponsible. Not increasing taxes after going into 2 wars is irresponsible.

The Republicans talk about fiscal conservatism, but the don't do it. Democrats aren't much better (debt is at $16T now), but Romney has to give a plan for me to believe he'll do better.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
