Hopefully Change Will Be Enough

In many ways, 2008 has a feeling like 1980, 1968, and 1960. Change is in the air, and the campaign of Barack Obama for the presidency is looking more and more each day like it is going to be successful. The big question is will he have the numbers in the Senate and House to boldly propose needed policy and programs that will force the desperately needed change across the nation ? In the last twenty-five years plus the nation has stagnated and the standard of living has declined for most all citizens except the wealthiest. The image and facade of prosperity and success that most citizens present to the outside world is an illusion, almost entirely built on debt and inflated value. Over time, this is inevitably doomed to fail and collapse as it has for many already. A nation built on economic fairness, justice, and much greater equality is essential in keeping our nation and its citizens strong, competitive, and happy.
