I haven't seen anything in President-elect Obama to indicate he is power hungry or a war munger. You are right, the Bush Administration is not conservative, they are really very liberal when it comes to spending, especially spending for preemptive war and national security. Neo- A prefix meaning 'new' or 'different from'. As a hyphenated prefix it often refers to the reappearance of a culture or tradition after a period of decline or abandonment, as in 'neo-classical'. > Second, we cannot spend our way out of this; the infusion of dollars created > out of thin air will only create eventually hyperinflation.

For example, instead of giving tax revenue back to the taxpayers to stimulate the economy, it might be better to give the money to corporations to hire employees, and have the corporations pass the money to the employees in a paycheck. Also, spending to stimulate a new industry like alternative sources of energy could be beneficial, as it would reduce USA dependence on foreign sources of oil; thus, increasing USA security. It would also create millions of jobs that could not be shipped overseas, which would really help the economy by creating jobs and disposable income for consumption of good and services. We could bring the troops home and have them spend their paycheck in the USA economy, rather than occupying Iraq and spending their paycheck over there. I think its important to return the government to a pay as you go spending policy based on balancing expected tax revenue with government expenses. > Third, with Obama as our President, we have just become a new Communist > country; we are in trouble folks.

He has opposed the Neo-conservative philosophy of a unitary executive branch with greatly expanded powers, which in all honesty, is not constitutional. There are many checks and balances in our government to guarantee constitutional freedom, privacy, and due process for the American people, and to insure no branch of government obtains absolute power. > Now, I know that there are several quite liberal FoxPro programmers on this > forum, so I apologize if I've offended you, but this doesn't change my > opinions about Obama and the danger he is to this country.
