However, I think that both John McCain and Obama are completely missing the big issue. The issue nobody's talking about- the real reason why our economy is sinking.

Those issues are real, but China is hurting itself in the long run too.

What's worse, if you ask me, is the out of control inflation which is motivated by the fear our politicians have of trying to avoid something like a run on the banking system. It devalues the wealth of poor people (simple dollars) and gives that money to rich people (who own stable, non-dollar investments) by negating any large debts they've taken on. Anyone who was responsible and didn't get into lots of debt, or purchase items beyond their means, is now suffering for the mistakes of rich Wallstreet investors.

McCain might be willing to do something about this mess (if he knew what to do), but most of the damage is already done (he'd simply avoid more damage). Obama, on the other hand, just wants to make everything worse by raising taxes (what a fucking fool). I don't think any politician has the smarts or the guts to do what's right and risk a DEPRESSION (oh noes!).
