I think a government should set priorities in regards to protecting its society which has definitly not been the case with the bush administration. It's clear that they've done everything possible to exploit tax money for the interest of a single industry, change rules to improve globalization (move job oppertunities elsewhere, decrease of national export products) and this so-called-war on terrorism. Then you have this fuck maddox which isnt really the only one the blame as all these corperates who wennt along with him never put in the numbers so they're talking 50billion, but they really dont know. What's even worse is that its always done with the retirement funds in favor of corperate captains own favors (salary, bonus & extras), they should fire each of these fucks responsible for getting into that pyramid scheme in the first place as a healthy company doesnt even work like this. Same goes for the first hit on this recession with the bank of iceland, we had some dutch counties who had millions of taxmoney put in there for no reason at all except to gain profit while asking for more money from te government to run their local projects, budgetcuts on necessary stuff because there was no "money". Its corperate greed and Obama is not powerfull enough to dodge this industry but if he's that good then he will set up restrictions and undo of some laws that bush&bush had brought through during his term. He should lay off the war on terrorism nonsense and should make sure his people are taken care off, the US right now needs a social care state or else its the US is going to go down real hard.
