Indecision 2008.

Dear Theressa,


Tuesday will be the day that starts the change that America desperately needs. Change, Theressa. I'm not saying who will instigate that change, but America needs change.

In the 1970s, President Richard Nixon tried to stimulate a failing economy by overspending. Regardless of the rising unemployment, the high interest rates, and extreme inflation, he chose to spend money, that frankly, America just didn't have. His successor, Jimmy Carter tried to fix things but really his efforts did not accomplish much. In 1981, Ronald Reagan became the president. The country was in a dire need of salvation.

November 4, 2008 will get the ball rolling towards change. I promise you, regardless of who wins, everything will get worse. Tax cuts? Not going to happen, and shouldn't happen. Thanks to the wonderful Bush administration, America is currently $10,543,252,523,280.04 in debt, and it will continue to grow. The economy is going to hit rock bottom before it can get any better, and if you think differently, in this case, I feel it's necessary to show you the light. There will be an economic crisis, saying that there will not be one is a completely asinine assertion, and you can thank the entire EVERYONE in political power. It isn't just the Republicans, it isn't just the Democrats. Thus, it is important to take into consideration who can steer the country in a direction that isn't the same direction as President Bush.

(Honestly, I don't hate President Bush, and I think people who say otherwise are wrong. There is a team behind him, there is a large group of people who help decide what happens in this country. It's a democracy, there's checks-and-balances. It's not all Bush. He shouldn't be hated, it's not his fault lacks eloquence, an ability to articulate words, and intelligence. )

The chance of an economic crisis is not dependant on who wins this election. Tax cuts and bailouts will not help our economy. We need to do as Margaret Thatcher did. We need a "U-TURN." We need higher taxes and higher interest rates, among other things, to pay for the past 8 years.

History is bound to repeat itself. President Bush is our Nixon. Who will be our Reagan? It was Reagan who asked, and I ask you now, "If not now, when? If not us, who?"
You're truly,
