I am not a Conservative by a long shot, and I think the Tea Party movement will be the death of us all (you know they’d ban eroge if they had a shot at it), but Obama is stark raving mad for spending so much $$$ during his term. He’s spending like he’s Regan reborn… in a global economy that isn’t anywhere near as stable as the one Regan had. Our government owes something like 13.5 trillion dollars, of which Obama added 3.5 trillion and growing.
We need drastic spending cuts AND increased taxes for the rich and large corporations. It’s insane how General Electric pays NO federal income tax, and they make BILLIONS. So tax the corporate greed and stop spending 600 billion on a military that’s bloated and fighting wars it shouldn’t (not to mention LOSING and/or STALEMATE in those wars). Last I heard, the US comprises 45% of the entire world’s military budget. I think we can safely cut that to 25% and still stick our noses where it shouldn’t be.
The other problem however, is that we HAVE to cut Medi-care/caid and Social Security spending somehow. They match or exceed defense spending on their own…

We should just vote GLaDOS-chan for President. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Oaql6f7j9c]The political debates would probably go like this[/url]. :o
Or maybe Cave Johnson. Errr… that link leads to MAJOR spoilers in Portal 2.
