i agree with much of what you said...

but i didn't get which side you prefer, let's say who's better short term, and who's better 20 years from now?

because let's face it... a 20+yr plan has nothing to do with the next 4 years. and isn't that what this election is about?

a long 20 year plan that may not even come to fruition is an easy way, to say,'i've had a great idea, thanks for electing me, don't expect things to get better for 2 more decades, so if they get worse, it wasn't my fault, and everything i could possibly do, will get undone when people finally realize i was too incompetent to figure out a quicker solution.'
