It's Not the Economy, Stupid, It's the War

We keep hearing that it's the economy that is uppermost on the minds of American voters this year. Part of that is due, of course, to the fact that were it not for the fact that most people buy everything they own with credit cards the word recession would have been outdated long ago: we're in a depression, people. Most Americans would not have a computer, large screen TV, or iPod if they couldn't pay double what it costs by buying it on credit cards. A significant number of Americans could not afford gas or groceries if they didn't have credit cards. Take away the opportunity to put off paying today what you bought yesterday and the simple fact is that most people today would have about as many nice things as their grandparents had during the 1930s. It is the economy, yes, but it's not the economy that should be the driving force behind your vote in November.

It's the war, stupid!
