I feel the same way. The debt is mounting. I think Americans are now seeing that policies that run a deficit are difficult to get out of. Clinton did a very good job, but he was more of a moderate Democrat than a liberal one. It costs like $100 million a month for the economic stimulus package in debt. Citizens need to get out of debt quickly. The time is coming when all this will bite us all. When that happens the we need to have cash to survive. I think this is resonating with many Americans as they see what happens when they owe $200K for a house worth $140K. The government is going down the same road. Democrats in congress have had 3 years to make an impact and have done nothing but drive up spending. This might have a lot to do with the voters shift in attitude. Independent voters are going to vote for who they feel will help the most. Usually its against the Presidents party.
