The biggest problem these days is people not participating in politics. Even if its just stating your opinion and views through a blog. But even that seems to much for some people to do. Many people complain that they are not getting their way. But we are in the USA somehow we can always get our way as the citizens of this country. To fix all of the mess that has built up over the past 200 years is going to be hard but it is possible. Americans have to stop complaining about anything and everything and take things into their own hand in the form of writing senators, publicly supporting politicians, supporting causes say for example Gay Marriage, Marijuna legalization, speed limits. Its ''government by the people'' not ''Government owns the people'' but again most of us cant grasp this concept. Interesting article.

This is a big reason why I think Republicans stayed home when they saw that John McCain was going to be the guy to represent them. Bush spent way too much money to call himself a Republican.

I believe this was part of his reaction (the Afghanistan War). However, I do not think that he adjusted the rest of his plan to the situation. He was bound and determined to not make the same mistake his father did, raising taxes. He was going to cut taxes no matter what the situation was. I do believe in tax cuts, but tax cuts and increased spending do not go together. Bush should not have cut taxes once he new he was going to have to fund the war on terror. He did many other things that also increased spending. I have to disagree that Bush was just reacting to the situation. I believe this was part of his reaction (the Afghanistan War).
