It is imperitive the message get out to Independants, Conservative democrats and Republicans that this is the most important election of a lifetime! The current administration is taking us down the road of Socialism with the government in control taking away the freedom of our citizens to instead depend on the government for most everything. This is opposite of what our founding fathers intended, spelled out in the Constitution. We must preserve Capitalism as the primary force limiting government to keeping order and security with minimal regulation of free markets. Under the Obama administration our debt has been growing at a pace of over $1 TRILLION per year and now approaches $16 TRILLION with no end in site, and no substantive plans by the administration to deal with the problem. This is unsustainable and strong action is critical in 2013 to prevent the kind of crisis European countries like Greece, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Italy are dealing with now. The compounding interest on the debt could skyrocket as the US debt is inevitably downgraded as happened last year and fears of a future US bankrupcy grow. Yes, it could happen just as nobody believed the Titanic would ever sink.
Mitt Romney is the likely GOP nominee and it is crucial the people get behind his candidacy and help him build a conservative platform that clearly spells out the advantages of free markets, limited government verses big government and overly regulated markets. Hopefully some of the excellent conservative ideas of Santorum, Ginrich, and Paul can be incorporated. Obamacare must be cancelled! The government should not be involved in the housing mortgage, insurance market. Phase out Fannie, Freddy, Housing Authority.We must address our energy needs and alternative fuels are not the immediate answer. Natural gas is abundant and relatively inexpensive. Relax regulations on drilling; expedite the Keystone Pipeline. Ginrich's $2.50 gas is plausible! The US has the capacity to be energy independant. While we need to maintain a strong defense we cannot afford to continue to be the Lone Ranger of the world. The US needs to return to financial strength by balancing its budget within the next 4 years and thereafter. Financial strength will go a long way to increase our world influence! The next appointment of the Federal Reserve chairman is critical; there needs to be a change there and the role of the Federal Reserve should be curtailed. The Fed's easy money policy is part of our weak currency, inflation problem and punishes savers. We need to simplify the tax code and make sure everybody pays their fair share. Entitlement programs must be reformed if Social Security is going to survive.
Beyond the presidency, we need to elect some new blood into the Congress, especially in the Senate. The Senate has largely been responsible for the failures to pass a budget the last few years. GOP control of both and a new president are critical to this country's future. The stronger the mandate the better.
