I think that the economy, and the political system, has literally become such a disaster I don't know if it's possible to save it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think we can create an environment where America can kind of get back on its economic feet.
If we want to save our country, we must all realize that the breakdown of our culture is trapping millions of people in a cycle of poverty and dependence, and together, we have to do something about it.
In the middle of a recession, where we're just climbing out of it, where the economy -unemployment is still at 9.7 percent, the idea of raising taxes and reducing spending is a prescription for disaster.
The entire economy, of course, is locked in a down cycle right now. Last time we weathered this was during another Bush presidency in '90. We were locked in it for a year and a half and everyone came out of it.
The American system is a beautiful and durable thing, but flawed. I would like to think that this decadence is not sustainable, whether in the eyes of the electorate or the eyes of whatever the local economy is built on; that would bring me hope.
I think that if we don't get these politicians to come together we face the most predictable economic crisis in history.
And you can't have a prosperous economy when the government is way overspending, raising tax rates, printing too much money, over regulating and restricting free trade. It just can't be done.
We may get to the point where the only way of saving the world will be for industrial civilization to collapse.
I thought the Bush economic policy was a disaster. We lost 500,000 private sector jobs during his tenure.
If the financial system collapses, it's really, really hard to put it back together again.
