Well,
It is now beginning to be a bit more clear of who the Candidates will be. If you want to expand the Federal Government it is the Democrat. Maybe somewhat less if you choose the Republician.

Info I have read says that if Hillary is the Democrat she is less likely to be elected this time, or maybe ever. The Candidates I liked best are now out of the race. Of course they could be re-instated if the primarys don't select a winner before.

The Democrat I could live with isn't even running and I can't support Barack or Hillary.

So at this time it leaves McCain of which will probably be elected. He is weak on illigal immagration but will probably "see the light" as the American people are not going to accept anything that looks like amnasty.

While the issue in Iraq may be getting better it probably may be quite a while before we finally depart from there. While the issues from the second world war have been long settled we still have bases in Japan, not sure if we are still in Germany or we have moved to Cutar.

The money isuues of Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and other things will wax and wane until who knows.

Best to prepare for your own future and not depend on the Government for it.
