Why will the '08 election be Business as Usual???

Most of the candidates from both parties have been jockying to claim the euphemistic title of the "Change Agent". The fact is, the economy has emerged as the Numero Uno issue. Forget the Iraq War, gay marriage, critical foreign policy issues, etc. Most Americans only pay attention to such matters when they are able to easily buy big screen TV's, gas guzzling SUV's and they can change jobs for higher pay as often as they change their underwear. The fact is, voters in the US VOTE THEIR POCKETBOOKS. So, look for our cast of Usual Suspect candidates to harp on this issue. (Yes, Obama is a Usual Suspect in that if elected, he would encircle himself with such people). They will not dare suggest real long-term cures for the US economy. The bogus "stimulus package" is such a ploy. Then if elected, they will enact all sorts of bureaucratic feeding-trough "solutions". The truth is, the US does not have the guts to really do what it takes to turn things around and the candidates know this.
