Question: After last night's series of promises about "Who's gonna do whut" if they are elected, I'd like to know: If the presidential (and vice-presidential) aspirants are so cocksure about the value of their plans, why didn't they offer such advice, congressional bills, and bi-partisan support to the present administration, which, if they are right, would obviously have tremendously shortened the rigors of a poor economy?
Instead, their program has been limited to all-out criticism and attacks on every phase of the current administration's efforts to relieve the strain. Relying on revisionist versions of past endeavors to alleviate the economic problems, they have relied on contrary and perfidious accounts of such matters. It is manifest that their appeal is to the lowest common denominator of the voting public, most of whom will never check the viability of their claims.
So what's new?
It is error only, and not truth, that shrinks from inquiry. -- Thomas Paine
