The Presidency 2000 versus 2008
Why would anyone want to be President? Why not, with a six figure salary, lifetime pension fit for any King, total paid expenses, more power, privileges, perks than any monarch that ever ruled, life-time protection with the world´s best security service, live in one of the world´s greatest mansions, travel in the world´s most fantastic private jet? The President gets to play Commander-in-Chief of the worlds most modern and leading armed forces, tax payer paid employees to do anything and everything at his beck and call and a place for ever more in history no matter what his legacy. When the President leaves office he can hire ghost writers to write books for him, bound to be best sellers with huge advances, go on the speaking circuit receiving huge fees. Presidents always bring a crowd including those who hated him when he was in office! An autograph by the President is more than a keepsake it can be sold at auctions for thousands of dollars.
When George W. Bush and VP Al Gore were candidates in 2000, the job looked like a real winner! The US had a booming economy, with a projected 10-year budget surplus, $3.1 trillion dollars to spend, tax cuts to make the people love you, especially fellow plutocrats, Social Security and Medicare reforms, education advances, no war, peace and a place in history as one of the greatest of Presidents.
That all evaporated with terrorist attacks, two wars, floods of illegal immigrants, a Gulf Coast hurricane with thousands of homeless people, a plunging stock market, a recession, a broken credit, mortgage and home foreclosure crisis, devastating outsourcing, a plunging US dollar as the US borrows more money every day from foreign banks than at any time in our history! And now there is growing inflation.
After taking the oath of office on 20 January 2009, the next President will have to deal with overwhelming problems. There will be an estimated $400 billion annual deficit, a minimal $10 trillion national debt with revenue busting interest, $400 billion in home loan and another $400 billion in bank bailouts to prevent foreclosures flooding the market. A new President will face trillions in military expense to support the industrial-military complex in addition to the ongoing domestic demands. Now we have expanding inflation hurting the poor and vast middle class majority. If our expanding financial crisis hits domestic corporate operations, a new President will have to face huge unemployment and a devastating depression! There cannot be increased spending or tax cuts. There will have to be tax increases! The next President GOP or Democrat will face two-party bickering, wheeling and dealing and power politics! He or she will have a major problem getting elected for a second term!
In the 1992 campaign Bill Clinton said, "It´s the economy stupid!" In 2008 it is the economy, stupid and the need for more money than ever before. The 2008 candidates who think solving medical care problems or getting out of Iraq will make them successful is either blind, stupid or conning the people. The next President will need more money than any President in history to keep the US solvent! Where will it come from? We will have tax increases and borrow more money from foreign bankers until our credit rating plummets and then the greatest tax increases in human history will take place along with forced cuts in actual needed services!
The need for foreign nations to do business or support the USA is diminishing every day. When we no longer have anything to give or do for them they will totally abandon the USA! Our US dollars are becoming worthless. Citizens need to ask, just how much gold or GNP backs up our dollars. Saudi Arabia, France and numerous nations only take payment from the US in gold. Our citizens do not know how much or how little gold there is in the vaults at Ft. Knox or the Federal Reserve Bank in New York!
It is past the time for answers! It is time for our public "servants" to level with we the people! There are justifiable doubts if the next President and the new Congress can save the USA from calamity, we the people had better start prying and stop trusting our leaders to do what needs to be done!
God save the USA!
