While the country is split on the issue of who should be our next president, there is one issue that everyone should agree on: our economy is spiraling downhill as we speak, and something needs to be done about it. According to a military policy analyst from Washington, D.C., the United States spends $12.3 billion a month on the Iraq-Afghanistan war. That’s $2.9 billion per week, $410 million per day, $17 million per hour. Although I’m no economical expert, it is quite obvious to see where our money is being siphoned away to. With that in mind, we look back to our contenders for the next leader of this country, and we see McCain in total support of the war, and Obama completely against it.
The answer seems apparent: support McCain, support a Depression; support Obama, support a revival.
