I'm not really a political guy, so I don't really know all of the intricacies of US politics, but the one issue that I tend to take a stand on more than any other is the management of the federal government and the raising of the debt ceiling.
As I said in the last policial question, I tend to have more liberal leanings. On this issue I definetely side with the liberals. While I agree that raising the debt ceiling isn't the solution to our problem, I think that something is far better than nothing. Better to have the debt ceiling raised than cause a government shutdown. I think that a government shutdown would be a disaster right now. The American people are already so worried about their jobs and money that if the government shut down it would be like a sealing of their doom. If the government can't find a solution, then who can?
Personally, my family is pretty rich so we haven't really been hit by the recession so far, but I take a particular stand on this issue because I know that the economy needs to get better. I think that at this point its time to try something new because what we have been doing hasn't been working. I'm not saying that the conservatives are wrong, but I do think that a liberal solution will be the one that will get us out of this crisis. When I go out into the world after college, I don't want to be in a world of economic depression, so I think that we need to think of something, and do it fast.
