The issue here and in most democracies is this: Do we want a big-brother (and imo a we-know-better-than-you-working-class-people-because-we-are-educated-liberals) welfare state, or do we want a small government and a free market society in which government regulations are limited, targeted, and specific?

Do we want a less competitive society where we focus on strengthening Unions, increasing the cost of living, and raising taxes and expenditures? 

Do we want to pass on a debt to our children in which the amount in which paying just the interest of the debt will take 5% of our GDP?

Do we want to live in a country where social security, medicare and medicaid take up 26% of our GDP, where 1 out of every 4 dollars in America HAVE to go to social welfare?

Do we want to vote for leaders who will work for our wallet's health or against it? 

That's the choice we make this December.

Why did Reagan succeed in the 80's?  Because after 20 years of extravagant liberal spending by the congressional democrats that culminated in a gutting of the military by President Carter and people living off the government and tax payers, aka welfare, the American people rejected a failed mentality.And now, lead by the grossly uninformed or misinformed young people in this country, we are coming back to this liberal mentality.  What happened to our young people?  In the 80's they flocked to Republicanism!  Is this all W's fault?  Yes, the past seven years have been difficult.  But if you think the President and the government can run the economy you should just go ahead and move to Cuba - see how well communism works.  Tell me how Obama is going to improve the economy?  If you give me one liberal argument on how he can improve the economy then I'll post it!  I will give you that we need to change a few things about the financial market system - but McCain is proposing that too.  After all capitalism, to be functional and healthy, needs to be highly transparent.  Yes that means we need to update our regulations once in awhile... that’s common sense though.

Again: Please tell me how a liberal economy works better than a free market system (obviously though with some regulations that any laisse faire activist supports!).  Any young liberals out there?  Bueller?  Bueller?

A few months ago I went through facebook to check up on some of my old school mates.  Most of you profess you are either liberal or very liberal.  Ok fine, but demonstrate that you know the economic consequences of a fiscally liberal government!
