I agree, good point on making generalizations about the typical behavior of any one group.

I'm not sure in this day and age who you can trust to vote in your economic interest. Don't get me wrong, I did not vote for W., ever. I am so disgusted by that regime. I am so disgusted in myself for not doing more lobby against the initial authorization to go to war. I do believe that we, the U.S., will be there for quite a bit longer. I think that Barack and Hillary don't have the guts to tell us that even if we leave now, we'll be back or we'll just increase the troop presence in Afganastan.

But what are we to do with this economy? There must be statistics on this, but it is difficult to believe that NAFTA brought down the economies of PA, MI, OH, IN etc. What is in our economic best interests? We can't stop trading with China when it owns, what percentage of our national debt? Just hypothetical questions, no answer required.
