Who will bring the economy up?

The election is coming up. The three candidates for president are now willing to do anything that is good for their people. The economy of America in the couple past months was so down with all rising unemployment, lower wages, higher gas prices, and some people lost their homes due to the economic problems. All three candidates had done nothing but promised to America something that will be good for their people. They are all having one thing in common, health care problem. All of them promised to bring a better health care to the people, and that no one is left behind. Candidate Obama said his plan will cover all American, and the amount of money spent by people who already had health insurance in their health problem will be less. Candidate Clinton’s plan is just similar to Obama’s plan. This is no odd thing, because Obama and Clinton are in the same party. They are going to do the same for their people in the future. The more importance thing is that Obama and Clinton both want to bring the troops out of Iraq soon. In that case, America can invest in American people and American jobs, which is a good way to bring the economy up. But how are they going to do it since the Republican President, Bush is still in his term? In addition, candidate of the Republic party McCain are going to do the same thing like Bush have been done in the last eight years. In McCain’s proposal, there is a promised in health care, too. But in his recent speeches on the radio there were no different than the policies that Bush had. McCain has no plan to bring the economy up. We cannot predict who the winner is, or who bring the economy up. Since all of the candidates up to now are just promised to the people and they haven’t done anything yet. In the other words, we cannot predict and judge the three candidates by their speeches, we can only predict and judge them in the way they are actual doing to bring the economy up. The winner will be the one who actually turn our economy around and actually do what they are promised. We can only know the result after the election end, and after the new president is being in his/her term.

Bringing the troops home

Beside the election is coming, the second hot topic now is the war in Iraq. I agree with Sophia in this topic. The war is happening longer than we expect. The troops are in duty longer times which mean they don’t get to see their family any time soon. Sophia made a turn point by raising two things: one is the costing of the war, and other is the lives of troops. First, let think about the food. Our troops have been eating dried foods and fairly amount of fresh foods. But it is still costing us a large amount of money. For instance, according to the National Public Radio, for every given month, the troops consume about $3 millions worth of beef steak, more than $2 millions worth of lobster tail, and more than $700,000 worth of egg rolls. This is just an example to prove what Sophia was saying about the worth of the Iraq war, nothing but costing us money. Second, let’s talk about the life of the troop for the individual and the troops for the whole. No one was born and expecting a death from war, accident or something that they never think about it. The death toll that Sophia stated in the post was huge. The number 4000 dead will not stop here; it will rise up as long as the war is not end yet. The purpose of the Iraq War is to serve peace for the people. But how many people might think and know about this purpose since many U.S troops died by the war. Families of the troops only see the war in their soul for the losing of any members in their family, and the war in Iraq for the realistic. United States Government should make a decision to bring the troops home as soon as possible. The war has been long enough to an end.
