That is part of it, but you don't think that an unjust war in Iraq has some affect? What about the weak US dollar? What about the fact that the current administration has not done anything to reduce our need for foreign oil? Anyone who looked at world economics knew that the demand for oil was going to rise sharply.



Obama's plan is more than simply throwing money at it. From the horses mouth - http://www.barackobama.com/issues/healthcare/



You mean like saving US lives, and money, and forcing the Iraq government to do something.



You mean Franklin Delano Roosevelt who pulled us out of the Great Depression, was so popular he was voted in for three terms, and got us through the biggest war in history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelt

Perhaps instead of shooting from the hip, you should do some research first.
I will cede the his campagin contributions however do you realize how hard it is to get viable energy and mass produce like we have done with crude oil? The sheer cost of begining such a project makes me shudder. We need to get off it we just cant start throwing cash at it. A national health care system will do more harm than good and cost the average joe more money. Leaving Iraq will kill many more people the fact of the matter is the Iraqi goverment is in no position to "do something" right now and we need to face that. FDR started defict spending and created and artifical market with his new deal his economic policies are the reason our economy has a crippiling defict. To often people look at the short term and neglect the long term. Health care the economy energy they are all pressing issues however we need long term not short term soultions.

I don't think that far ahead.
