Planet Earth to: Clinton, Obama and McCain

It's time that the three presidential hopefuls stopped shoveling-out the back of their manure trucks.

Enough already with the tripe, fluff, platitudes, accusations and mud that the 3 amigos have been slinging.

Enough already with the dreams, the experience, the phone calls at 3 in the morning .... blah, blah, blah, blah!

America is in very deep trouble and she needs a PRESIDENT WITH STONES who will tell American's just how deep the pile is that they are currently standing in and how America will get out of it.

I haven't heard any one of the presidential candidates offer specific solutions to;

  • putting the brakes on the price of oil which is skyrocketing to levels that will inflate everything out of sight.
  • putting a stop to price fixing amongst the big oil companies.
  • increasing refinery capacity to reduce prices at the pumps.
  • food prices which continue to skyrocket thus putting a huge damper on family spending. Between 2006 - 2007, food prices have soared 40%. That's just plain criminal.
  • the bio-fuel scam.
  • speaking about scams, when is a future President going to shut down that privately owned corporation known as the Fed - see my series on the Fed.
  • this year's accelerating inflation rate.
  • medical insurance and health care costs which are heading for the stratosphere.
  • no new home equity lines of credit being offered.
  • existing lines of credit being shut down.
  • 2.5 trillion in losses to U.S. home values so far.
  • the destruction of the U.S. dollar around the globe.
  • the trillions in losses which are about to hit the U.S. economy from the imminent collapse of prime mortgage-backed bonds and derivitives.
  • to prevent taxpayers from being taken to the cleaners by having to pay for the bailouts of investment banks, failed financial institutions and the bankruptcy of government mortgage-insuring, deposit-insuring and pension-insuring agencies.
  • to prevent hyperinflation.
  • to prevent the national debt from doubling and tripling over the next decade.
  • to stop the off-shoring of American jobs
  • to call out Bush and Cheney on their plan to start yet another war this time in Iran. Heaven help us all. After 5 years, billions of dollars and over 4,000 lives, the United States of America can't even control the city of Baghdad ... one single solitary city... never mind the country of Iraq. How incompetent is that?

This list could be much longer but the hour is late and I'm becoming more agitated and cantankerous. Let me just end this blog by saying that when it comes to any one of the 3 presidential hopefuls intelligently addressing any one of these few issues and presenting a viable solution, the silence has been quite deafening!

America you deserve better than Obama, Clinton or McCain.
