Is America ready for a systemic change?

The presidential debate is experiencing its most exciting period. From Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, to John McCain and Mitt Romney, every presidential candidate is giving their best performance for Super Tuesday.

America is ready for a big change. It doesn’t matter if the next president is democratic or republican; America will need to be united as a nation. Fixing the war in Iraq, healthcare, and economy are the three biggest issues the next president faces. So far, by watching the presidential campaign, I have realized that the candidates keep changing their strategy in every debate to show their own credibility.

All the candidates understand the problems that we are facing. However, nobody really states any solutions to how to solve the problems. How are we going to make healthcare universal and affordable for every single American? How can we recover the damage the war has done to the American economy? Changing the tax code and lowering taxes on the middle class is not going to get Americans out of debt.

Statistics shows that most of the middle class has at least $8,000 per person in credit card debt. While the price of the fuel is rising, energy bills are increasing every month and healthcare is becoming unaffordable. Tax cuts really don’t seem to be the solution to get out of the situation. America needs a change. We don’t know what the change will be like, how can the change be carried out, or how intense it can become. Let us wait and see what happens in California on Tuesday.
