The US economy, social act, and the political

situation will get very interesting through 2012. Less than 10 months until the election, with budget issues dominating government, the employment situation affecting the election. The Republicans seem to be keeping the debt/ deficit  issue in play encase the economy improves and they nolonger have that issue. But the OWS movement counters economic inequality (debt/deficit/growth battle).

Is Romney already boxed in?
 Look into this these points
 - ecomonic growth
-  debt / deficit
- employment
- social issues (abortion/gay)
- foreign affairs
- budget matters
- regulation
- infrastructure
- energy/ natural resources / climate change

People forget that Obama put several things in place (healthcare / financial reform) - against the complete opposition of the moneyed class (the people who make all their wealth off of health care and finance) - they are there awaiting a more favorable Congress and / or a more progressive management. The New Deal just didn't happen on its own, individuals put it in place.

A new direction for DEFENSE -

afterall, Defense spending is sacroscant - most of the money goes to the Church of Empire. A military built around pure national and alliance defense would look very much different. Remember this budget represents only military, the state and intelligence legs of this stool aren't under discussion.
