Jimmy Carter? He’s probably the worst president out there. Hell, under him you would be paying 20% interest on loans. Under Bush, you are paying like 2%. Carter screwed up so many things.
Ronald Reagen pretty much defeated the soviet union without firing a shot and certainly preventing a nuclear holocaust. Plus he brought down the Berlin wall, he’s a national and global hero, no matter what the financials say. I’d say your smoking crack if you think otherwise.
I don’t see what I’m missing here, McCain’s plan promises to balance the budget, that’s what McCain has said all along. You must have heard this during the debates and over the past 30 years about McCain being the Reformer.
Clinton just taxed the hell out of everyone and thats originally the reason Bush cut taxes his first term because the government was overtaxing and thats why we had the surpluses and stuff. You have to remember though, in Clinton’s time, we had a dot-com boom (and Janet Reno in Clinton’s admin screwed that up by splitting Microsoft towards the end of the clinton era). Bush had to deal with a 9/11 attack so of course we were going to war and we were going to lose the surpluses.
Erik, those articles are negligable, they even say McCain had nothing to do with what those other guys were doing. You can pick out 100s of little things that the democrats can think of and it won’t compare to what Obama is associated with. I’ve haven’t heard one thing on all the major news stations like Fox or CNN, CNBC about McCain doing anything like that.
McCain, unlike Obama, doesn’t hang out with people or get associated with people (or murderes) who once bombed the nation’s capital like osama bin laden did on 9/11. If you want to talk finances, Obama never said he would balance the budget like McCain did and Obama’s plans will cost more than what Bush is doing.
McCain is strongly for freezing spending and balancing the budget, which I strongly agree with.
Check out the DOE site regarding nuclear power plants: http://www.ocrwm.doe.gov/info_library/newsroom/photos/photos_natlmap.shtml#
This is important, notice Wisconsin with just 4 nuclear power plants powers 25% of the state, or Minnesota with 3 plants powers 25% of the state. That’s just 3 plants! McCain is planning on building 48 new nuclear plants, which would almost double the number in the US. That may increase the power in Wisconsin to 50%. Imagine how much money we save. McCain also realizes that with nuclear plants, it’s easy to create hydrogen for fuel cells in cars. Imagine the billions we would save just from doubling the nuclear power, that goes back into our economy. Obama is against nuclear plants all together, which is mind blowing to me. McCain has this really though out.
