Unfortunately, both sides have it entirely wrong, the problem isn’t the economy needing grease, it’s that the economy is entirely unsustainable and has been for years, it needs to be reset, but anyone who suggests actually fixing the problems will find themselves out of office almost immediately. The American people don’t want to hear that free and easy credit and entitlement to all the latest and greatest flashy gadgets needs to vanish. The economy is based around that kind of thinking, fixing the economy is going to require a lot of hard cuts and rethinking of the entire financial outlook of most companies.

No one, Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal, is willing to suggest those changes because it’s political suicide for themselves and their parties. Anything that’s being done, both by Bush and now by Obama, is a desperate attempt to bandage over the hemorrhaging wound and hope they can hold out until someone else is in office so it doesn’t look like their fault when the whole house of cards collapses.

Don’t be surprised this is what Obama is doing, McCain would be doing the same thing if he had gotten into office.
