I totally disagree that the President has little ability to fix things. Much of it depends on his reputation and the respect he commands from Congress and leaders of other countries. How they see him is how they see us.

Also, I am not an economist, but I do know that any time you buy more than you sell you are going to be in trouble. Right now America buys a lot more than we sell to others, which affects the value of our dollar and our ability to put people to work here.

We need to quit meddling in other peoples business and concentrate of the problems we have here at home. We think nothing of sending billions to other countries or dropping mega buck bombs on others, but millions of people at home here are without healthcare and too many children go to bed hungry at night. Call me an idealist, but it just doesn't add up to me.
