there are no small government candidates in this race. At least with Obama, he proposes to do something with our money, other than sink even more of it into defense which McCain will do. And if his foreign policy cred works out and America can be respected once more as a nation, maybe we can safely downsize the defense department budget. We pay a shit-ton of taxes now. There’s no reason why we cannot cut out enough wasteful spending to get ourselves out of this mess. Of course, this all assumes the dollar is worth the paper it’s printed on by the time O’Bama is sworn in.
