“Congress, much more than the President is going to drive us into a depression.”

Yes, there are differences in social and moral issues between the parties but, they aren’t what is sinking America.
What is sinking America is 95 years of flawed monetary and economic policy that is controlled in both parties by the Central Banking elite that created the international organizations like CFR that both parties get almost all people from. All but two Presidents since its creation have had strong ties to it. Most cabinet and advisers are from it or the Trilateral Commission. The CIA is run by them, not the President or either party and advise the President and Congress in ways that support a one world government or “new world order.”
But there is one striking difference between the candidates in this election - communication.
Early in the first Bush Presidency, I wrote to the party, the President and my Congressmen. I said that if the President didn’t start communicating better with the American people he and the GOP would lose them. Naturally, I didn’t think they would listen as arrogant as they were but, at least I could say I did my part as a voter who loves America and spoke out.
Now, we have had an election where I didn’t vote for either candidate and chose to write in a name. But, what I saw was a candidate who communicated well. Whether you agree with him or not, Obama communicated well with the voters and it is one reason he did so well. McCain was terrible as a communicator. If I recall from the clips and quotes of FDR (another President who did things we are still paying for or rather accumulating debt for), he was a good communicator.
The people need a “leader” and a good leader is one who can communicate so well that he is persuasive. Whether it is U.S. voters or foreign leaders, he needs to instill confidence, not arrogance. He must have both a micro and macro view and be able to communicate both.
Now, if Congress does their job, legislates sensibly and restrains themselves, and Obama communciates to the people why they are doing that, we will do much better than many believe. I have little hope of that happening but, communication by the President, if it did happen would be vital to the success of it.
Congress, much more than the President is going to drive us into a depression. They are not going to reform our monetary policy, economic policy or tax policy and thus, the new President will have nothing to sign that will help whether he would sign it or not.
If we can keep the loans coming, we may be able to “stimulate” enough to delay the final collapse Von Mises foretold, one more time until the entitlement crisis hits that the Government Accounting Office kept warning Congress about even before this crisis hit.
I didn’t vote for Obama but, I will support any positive moves to reform our government and oppose any continuance of the policies we have had for almost 100 years that are destroying our ability to compete in the global economy that has emerged in the last 10 years or so.
