Middle Class and poor---huge tax breaks for rich and outsourcing jobs, and few social programs are affecting them.
Threat of terrorism---Bush's and Rummy's impulsive actions got the terrorists' recruitment drive in high gear.

They like the "eye for an eye" Hammurabi philosophy. They think it's fine to lower our standards down to the level of the bad guys. First of all, that's not the American way. They don't care.
Then they call liberals out for supporting the termination of the cells that will grow into a baby before it's alive. Abortion can be necessary if a person wants to be discrete about a pregnancy or even if the woman is in a life-threatening situation.
Whatever, they just carry on their holier than thou mindset.

...its defense and way of life depends upon product(s) produced in large measure by other countries?

If not, is the dependent country committed to the defense of others, just to ensure its own survival?

Wouldn't it be feasible for countries to define a core set of products necessary for its own survival; be able to completely produce those products internally; and, still promote global trade?

If feasible, would the cost of restructuring ones economy be worth it over the risk of dependence upon others for your soverignty and survival?

An interesting question for me. Would you prefer a visionary or someone who follows a sort of realpolitik? Which would be better for our country at this point in time? At any point in time? This question actually influences my choices, who I support, etc. so I think it is worth discussing. For my own interest, would you mind stating your political party as well? I want to see if a particular option runs in a given party. Explanations appreciated. Here's my viewpoint:

I would likely support a pragmatist now. That is more of what we need than an idealist. We are in a mess everywhere, and someone needs to take charge. We don't need to introduce new ideals or goals, we need to meet the ones we already have set in place. At this point, I think a pragmatist would be more effective.

I'm neither Republican nor Democrat, but conservative.

delay, Gulf War syndrom claims, delay addding of dependents on a disbaled vets claim, have a history of substandard care in the hospitals, its common to see a vet denied a prostetic limb while a another is allowed cosmetic surgery such as a boob job ( I saw that first hand at the hospital which I volunteer at!). Isn't it time that the VA system was overhauled and delays on claims by combat veterans eliminated? Do we not owe a debt to those who served?

I am doing research on government, money and the public. Would you purchase savings bonds, T-bills, notes, bonds, or TIPS from the government to help pay down the debt. I would also like answers from Canadians (please indicate if you are). Would you purchase Canada Savings Bonds, T- Bills, Notes and Bonds to help pay the Canadian Federal Debt?

If you answer this question, can you answer this one as well?
