These past two years have been filled with anxiety and fear to the American consumer.

What we must ask ourselves is: When did this particlular "downfall" all begin to happen?

Why didn't Economist's speak out ,after the 2000 recession? Why were "the Fat Cat's" given priveleges that only has made this current situation worse?

What Government policy allowed people with no money to invest in a home ,so they could live "the American Dream"?

And, oh yeah, what about all the Americans who have been able to afford and live the "American Dream", now, be plagued with falling retirement funds and losing the "dream" they created by hard work and effort?

I believe that finding the "root to the problem "would be a good start in seeking an end to this economic nightmare.

Remember the 1970's Nixon price contols..Carter era inflation in the high teens..Carter-Reagan double-digit unemployment..The collapse of the dotcoms and tech stocks..the post 9/11 recession..We've come out of all these cupposed financial collapses and we will come out of the current tough times. All we need is to keep faith in our free market institutions and not turn European. Remember, it's not whether you get knocked down but whether you get back up.

Candidates profess they are experts in all fields.Military,economy,foreign affairs.

Most do not have degrees in such fields,exception is McCain has a military degree.

Obama does not have a degree in economics,foreign affairs,military,yet he professes having all the solutions.The masses will not vote for a boring Mathematician or Economist.
