We keep borrowing and spending to get out of debt within a debt based system which will do nothing but make the doom and gloom scenarios come true. Or we can put an end to the madness once and for all and create a sound monetary system. Right now it's nothing but a control mechanism. Giving the government more control of more or less everything in our lives doesn;t sound like a good plan to me..

You know, when you drop all the conspiracy bullshit and just speak from the heart you actually show a ray or two of sense.
However, all that is just basically stating the obvious. Anyone paying attention can or at the very least should be able to see that things are starting to collapse. If 10+ million mortgages being forclosed on in the US and hundreds of thousands of layoffs from large companies isn't a warning sign I don't know what is.
You and one or two others seem adamant that Obama is not only going to NOT do much to fix the problem but he will actually make it worse, while others in this thread seem convinced that his plan(s) will make things better. Still others are at least willing to give him a chance, adopting the "wait and see" attitude (which is kind of where I'm sitting).
Who is right? I guess we'll see in 4, maybe 8 years.
Too bad at the end of that time we won't be able to see how McCain would have done had he won, as a comparative.
