Also, the 6.7% percent inflation is probably bogus and it is probably more like 12% or more. The government cherry-picks what is in the "basket" used to calculate the inflation rate.

Gravel, Kucinich or Paul would at least ATTEMPT to - whether they would get much cooperation from Congress is debatable.

Both Gravel and Kucinich are socialists who would only get us deeper in debt. They may be anti-war but still want to overspend us into eventual oblivion.

A combination of Obama and Huckabee, with a twist of Ron Paul.

I think a combination of increased regulation of business (Obama), a sensible conservative approach to taxation (Huckabee), and a little bit of libertarianism (Paul) is what we need to get our economy back on course.
