Obama's Economic Plan

I think it goes without saying that our disastrous economy is the result of laissez-faire (a.k.a. Republican) economic policy. The party of "government isn't the solution, it's the problem" has proven yet again that markets need regulation. Frankly, I think we need a new New Deal to replace our current hypercapitalism with a system of fiscal responsibility, and we need it soon.

But the idea that any card-carrying member of the GOP could or would impose meaningful regulation on the markets is just too laughable. Regulation, Sen. McCain? Seriously? The only people who would believe that are the ones who haven't paid attention for the last quarter-century or so. And, if any of you fit that description, I'd like to share with you a two-minute video from Sen. Barack Obama.



This year, please vote for your economic interests. Don't be distracted by lies or "values" or culture wars or non-Anglo-Saxon names or race or gender or anything else that divides us.
