Letter to the editor:

Neither party has all the answers to crisis

Regarding Sylvia Valencia’s Thursday letter, “Obama has plan that will help the economy”:

I’m uncertain either candidate can definitively plan the economy with so many variables shaking the stock market, dollar value, the housing market and business expansion.

In fact, our country has fallen into such a hole over the past few weeks, I’m becoming increasingly concerned about any one party’s having exclusive control.

Both parties demonstrated abysmal judgment in their panic attack about the economy. The $700 billion “bailout” was a “buy in” of more government that does not represent the people.

Yet, with Obama ahead in the polls and Congress in the hands of the Democrats, we may well be controlled by a Democratic White House and Congress. To rephrase Ms. Valencia, “We need a president who represents at least half the electorate and will work to balance power.”

Put a democrat in the white house and you won't have to worry about a deep recession, it will be a full blown depression.

Obama, is probably of shaking in his shoes. He didn't expect this kind of economy. HE DOESN'T have a plan to deal with it. Let me repeat that....HE DOESN'T have a plan to deal with it. Neither does McCain but that's another story. He needed an economy that was reasonably strong so that he could fan the flames of class warfare by taxing the evil rich to give to the poor. While the poor will be effected by this chaos, the rich will be devastated (company closings = job loses and lower tax revenue).... meaning that Obama won't be able to tax the wealthy and produce on his promises of FREE!, FREE!, FREE!
