Well, Obama was elected into office to fix those issues. Instead, he's dumped billions into other things he was told would fail. Solyndra, Think City and the Stimulus to name a few, but these things kept people thinking he was doing something good at the time he did them. Now, if he applied those billions back into paying off the deficit, then we would be better off now than before. Rather than do that, he decided to raise the debt cap and keep on spending.. Obama understands people want handouts, free healthcare and a job that they have to do as little at to get a good paycheck. What he doesn't understand is that the Government cannot afford to fund these programs. So, we can re-elect a guy that we know will keep the debt climbing, or we can elect a guy that we know can make money and likely reverse the deficit. He may not be the most likeable person, but you don't have to be likable to be successful. Many people hated Clintons guts, but he knew how to balance a budget. Even if Romney only got 4 years, it would be enough to improve the goverments money problem.. 16 Trillion in debt, the goverment is bankrupt, if a company goes bankrupt ( files chapter 11 ), they downsize and restructure.
