Another leader could arise if we want one to turn us to true freedom and heal the economy. Rebuilding the military, building alliances to fight other people's wars, enticing more people to enlist and prepare for war, and giving better benefits is not change. If we turned from our employment lifestyle that causes stress, pollution, disease, accidents, afflictions, wars and conflicts, we would not need universal health care, social services like welfare and pre-kindergarten child care. The families would be at home.

Alliances would not be need if we turned from our lifestyle of building military weapons, manufacturing, processing, and transporting food, goods, and people around the world to creating a garden paradise that supplies our needs in our communities. God's plan is ours when we release our polluting, bondage and stress producing lifestyle behind.

Independence from foreign oil will still leave us dependent on energy suppliers in America. We will still be complaining about energy and other high costs.
Either candidate will still leave us working away from families, buying insurance, dealing with daily stress of child care, college tuition, sons in military, conflicts over abortion, marriage, and religion.

As you work and it's harder to make ends meet. It will trickle down to you someday. Just shut up, pay your taxes and worry about the wealthy.
