For the first time in my life I don't feel like voting in this coming presidential election. I don't like to talk about politics and I'm sorry for bringing up the subject but I feel we have come to a crossroads that can't be ignored. So, I made up a list of items that I feel are of great concern for us here in the United States and how the two candidates view them.
Obama Item Romney
Keep spending Debt ($16 trillion) Cut spending
Not too good Negotiate with ?
other party
Raise Taxes Not raise
Good Foreign affairs Not so good
Reduce Military Increase
Reduce Oil production Increase
Increase Alternative energy Not worth it
Forget about it Israel Help
Socialism Ideology Capitalism
Questionable Awareness None
Strong Environment Weak
Which view is good and which view is bad depends on your own ideology. For example, if you think the national debt doesn't matter that much you might side with Obama. If you think taxes shouldn't be raised you would side with Romney, and so on. So it's going to be decided by the voters. I'm going to look very carefully at the candidates in the next few weeks, make a decision, and vote. I hope you do too.
