TOOO much money involved, crossing too many hands.
I will vote, and I have been more personally involved than ever before in calling my elected officials, etc.
HOWEVER, I think the saddest testmonial of all is that, in the most powerful country on earth, that Obama, and Mccain are the best we can field?????

I agree with what you said the problem is that Americans are turning more and more to the goverment to solve their/our problems. The fact is that goverment only adds to the problem instead of solving them. The federal gov needs to stick to roads, military, and maybe a few other things and let the state goverment solve the problems of each states needs. Some people may think I have left off education but all the federal goverment does is eat away the funds. So for every dollar we send to them they send back a little change and they really have done nothing to improve education. McCain And Obama both are just running on platforms to expain the federal goverments role in our lives and its not going to help one bit.
