His record isn't that great regarding people!!! He was a consultant, his company (Bain) was paid up front whether they were successful at "fixing" the company they were working with or if the company went bankrupt---as some did. As the Governor of Massachusetts he was instrumental in instituting a lot of programs that he is dead set against now!!!

It would seem to me that these days everyone in Congress is either extreme right or extreme left---and there's is no longer any such thing as a moderate who will consider both sides of an issue and pursue a course of action that is best for the majority of the people...

Watch the BS in the Senate the next few days as they "debate" what to do with all the tax cuts that expire this year!!!! Nothing will be accomplished because all involved are more concerned with the election in November then they are addressing the tax issue. Many economist are predicting a severe recession if these issues aren't resolved now and the Congress let's them slide till the new Congress and the (new?) President are sworn into office in January....

As for cutting out the retirement benefits of Congressmen, that will never happen!!! Congress would have to be the one's to change it!!!!
Dave you brought up a good point that sparked something in my mind. Remember last year when Minnesota's government just plain shut down due to their slacking on getting their tax cuts and plans together? The governor helped them out. It was crazy. I could see that happening on a larger level with what you mentioned. Not only are those politicians so focused on the election, they're totally over looking what's going on in the USA with this drought. That will bring a recession of it's own I'm afraid.
