We've got less than one week before the election and I FINALLY FIGURED OUT who I'm voting for. The bottom line is, I don't think Obama is going to bring in enough tax revenue. I can't believe I'm saying this but a democrat is actually not taxing enough. According to Barack Obama's own website, his revenues will be less than 18.2% of GDP, which is

Plus, Obama has a LOT of spending in line.

The plan, at least, is to cover most of that spending by making cuts from other programs and finding other ways to save money. That's not really a realistic expectation, but it's a start.

Having the debt go up would be a bad thing, if that's what comes to pass, but I think that the benefits of the programs Obama is proposing would outweigh the cost.

That said, I'm thrilled to see a post about politics on here or Facebook that actually involves research, for once, instead of knee-jerk reactions or basing it entirely off of religion or some other ideology.

(I hope I'm wrong for our nation's sake because Obama is going to win)

There's no guarantee there, yet. If the polls are right, then that should be the outcome, but there's no guarantee that the Bradley Effect won't rear its head. On the other hand, I've suspected the polls aren't skewing young enough this year, and that could have a big effect on how accurate they actually are.

I like Obama's programs and I definitely agree that our nation will benefit from them. The way I see it is Obama's plans a quick fix and McCain's is better for the long run. I could go on more about this but I'll leave it at that.

As for you Paul, I'm always thrilled to get an aerospace engineer's opinions. There's a lot of pros and cons on both sides and its important to know what they are.
