Personally, I see our country headed into the "Ultimate Depression" very, very soon. We've put so much money and energy into saving another country's economy that we've shattered our own in the process.

Though each '08 Presidential Candidate represents strong values for a multitude of other important issues, the key issue, to me, is the economy.

I honestly do not have a real grasp on which candidate could bring us out of this recession. Help me and those others that are curious find the answer. Thanks

No contest! Rudy Giuliani will. Rudy has a great record of cutting taxes and increasing gov't revenue. Rudy also has Steve Forbes on his campaign team and in the coming months expect to see a tax reform proposal from Giuliani's camp most likely a Flat Tax. A flat tax @ 10-15% and no capital gains tax would be the best thing for our economy.
The reason why we are the global powerhouse economy is because we have so much capital in the U.S. One of the main reasons why we have so much capital here is because we have good tax legislature(Bush tax cuts). All of the democrat candidates have openly said they will let the Bush tax cuts expire which will amount to a huge tax increase and damage to the economy. Also Hillary health care will amount to additional HUGE tax increases providing further destuction to the economy. This is the reason why none of the Democrat candidates stand a chance of winning in 08'

I myself don't think we'll be going into Depression. A while back, though, I did fear we would, but as you and I can see everyday the "rich" and "very rich" are now everywhere_not to say that the poor are much more poorer_but what I mean is that so many rich people will just go on to make more money. Just take a look and see how many have made so many millions during the last couple of years of the Clinton administration and Bush's as well.

So any candidate probably will do. Any will be fine, since everything is cut out for them. All they have to do is "preside".

There's no way we'll go back to having what we had with the 1930's depression. Those were other times. Think for a moment how many different types of jobs_and careers_have been created since then. And don't even get computer related jobs in there!!!

I'm sure the poor will definetely have it worse than their having it right now, and some rich will lose some of their wealth. But the power they have acquired through these riches is bonded with politics. So it is indestructible.

Hillary Clinton. She has the most experience in government of any of the candidates, she learns from her experience, and is the most capable of drawing together the warring factions of the country.

Unfortunately, we must deal with the War in Iraq in order to fix anything. The first reason is moral: people are fighting and dying for no reason.

The second reason is economic: the war is costing this country 300 million dollars per day, and has gone on longer than World War II, with no end in sight.

I say this after giving much thought to the question of whether I would prefer Clinton or Obama. For quite awhile I thought I should support the candidate most likely to win.

Now I think the only position that makes sense is to choose the person most capable of doing the job.

That person is Hillary Clinton.

I hope that whoever wins, Republican or Democrat, will figure out a way to start decreasing the size of the deficit, one created during the past six years. Otherwise, we will spend more and more money on the interest of the deficit, and will have less and less to build schools, infratructure, etc....

I think that Edwards has some decent economic ideas. But none of them can turn around a mess that's now nearly half a century in the making.

It ain't about politics. It's about the depletion of central resources and the collapse of the infrastructure through the inattention of our useless public and the government they are supposed to pay attention to.

Bady, it's the fault of the indifference of everyman.

Where did you get the idea that we're headed for the "Ultimate Depression"? You obviously don't follow news on business and the economy.

Hell, even Alan Greenspan admits that there is no way to predict the economy. All they can do is react.

6 in one, half dozen in the other.
