That would be good but I somehow doubt it will ever happen. McCain is all for the war in Iraq which is a drain on money right now. Over 1/2 a trillion $$$$ has been spent on the war with no end in sight. And like all Republican candidates and to a lesser extent Clinton he is a friend of big business. This means that the oil companies, the medical and pharmaceutical industry will all be looked after before the general public. It's always the middle class that suffer the most in places like the USA, they fund tax cuts for the wealthy and pay for the unemployed.Originally Posted by brad
Remember, they have to look after their donors first and the public come a very low second!!!
Have a look at the latest budget. It's going to send us spiralling into even more debt in the coming years

For instance, when he took office (Bush) the total federal debt held by the public was $3.3 trillion, and some policymakers actually worried that investors might not be able to get their hands on enough federal bonds unless taxes were cut. Now, debt held by the public — including foreign governments — is expected to reach $5.4 trillion this year and $5.9 trillion in 2009, according to Bush's budget submission. Some $2.3 trillion is foreign held.
