As this is the first blog I have ever written, why not start out with huge current events? The article "Radical in the White House", doesn't fully describe the situation we face. I believe our nation as a whole needs to be a bit more radical to take on the challenges we face in these economic times. This is not just an American recession, this is a world-wide problem. All nations need to be looking to new alternatives and ways of viewing our financial crises. I am under the belief that if President Obama can keep this from getting any worse during his term in office, he will have done a tremendous job. But to make huge promises and take the money of our future generations is only going to come back to hurt us in the future.
When I hear and read about his economic plan, I see the welfare state continuing to grow in this nation. This means that instead of borrowing money from other countries now to fix our own problems, we have delayed the inevitable. We will come back at some point in our future to a time of borrowing from rising powers in the world like China, and it will make us a lesser nation all because we are trying to solve this problem with fake money. Let's save ourselves but not by lowering our worth.
If you want something radical...let the fall out happen. Sure there will be many problems but it's better to get them over with than to delay them for our children's children. If we are to survive as a nation, WE need to face our problems and not put them on our children that will come to face even more impossible odds down the road.
