Personally, I don't feel either party has been focused enough on the reduction of spending. I wasn't so much in favor of Mccain as I was against Obama for various reasons we won't get into. I do however feel that Mccain would not have went so far with the spending and would have pulled back mainly due to public opinion on the subject. Public opinion of our Nations financial status plays a major role in our economy. That is were Obama dropped the ball IMO. I do not think he has helped foster a good mindset for the public or business owners. I think he should have focused more on the economy and debt reduction and not waste a year on a total healthcare overhaul. That being said I hold congress to blame more so than any one person. Having legislation that everyone is unsure how it will effect them or their business did major damage to job creation. Everyone knows you don't get something for nothing and that it was going to cost one way or another. And with the excessive national debt it leads people to believe more taxes are coming to pay for it (and there will be). So business owners and individuals save their dough and wait and see what's going to happen. So that's where the economy is. Everyone is waiting with a death grip on their money, if they have any left.
