Letter To The Editor

Political Change and the Free Lunch
Both candidates for President are campaigning on changing Washington politics. Obama is promising a bigger piece of the pie to all except the top 5% of wage owners who will pay for everything; while McCain is running from George Bush’s unpopularity, and promising reform.


Many gigantic problems face the Country at this time, but the greatest is a lack of leadership by both parties in government and the military. Partisanship and self-enrichment are the norm. Sensible partisanship is normal and even desirable, but not when the good of the Country is subservient to party.


McCain has a record of doing what he thinks is right regardless of  party. Although somewhat limited, Palin’s record is similar. McCain was a media darling when the press claimed he was causing dissention in the Republican Party, but since he won the nomination the press has portrayed him as business as usual. Obama has almost no record. He was in the US Senate for   a year before becoming a full-time campaigner.
Think about what he proposes.  He admits that large spending increases will be required, and plans to pay for them by increasing taxes on the top 5% of wage earners. Social security, Medicare, and Medicaid are already well over half our annual budget, and are being funded pay-as-you-go. There really is no trust fund. Unfunded government liability was approximately $250,000 per householder before our latest financial fiasco. By about the year 2050 there will be only two people working for each person on Social Security and Medicare. Do you see a problem here? Those rich people sure will have to make a whole lot more to pay for the rest of us.


Remember change can be good or bad. In the end there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Terry Blake
