I read in the Sunday paper yesterday that US presence in Iraq is costing an estimated $9 billion a month. Barack Obama plans to decrese the military presence there, and divert those funds elsewhere. Here's the thing. That $9 billion? We're currently getting that money from outside sources, such as China. So if that money gets diverted, it won't be saving us any money, we will still be borrowing it from China as well as other sources, and our economy will still be going down, and China's will still be going up.
This isn't going to make people happy. I'm not really sure how Barack Obama thought he'd get away with doing that. I suppose he thinks we're all too stupid to really realize things as important as where money is coming from. Both Obama and Clinton think they have the answers to make the american peope happy, but neither of them have any idea where they're going to get the money to give us all the add-ons they are promising. If the only answer is that we will continue to borrow 9 million a month from China, then these plans need to be rethought out. The American people need to decide what is really in their best interests, and move away from trying to ruin our economy by allowing our dollars to decrease in value, so that China's economy can completely overrun ours.
