This is something I don’t understand. On all the issues most important to the younger age group, Obama is directly opposed to representing our best interests.

Obama is trying to prop up home prices above their market levels and to prevent homes from falling to reasonable prices that we can actually afford. I’m certain that most young Americans who voted for Obama do not own their own home, so isn’t it in our best interests that quality homes be available for reasonable prices (although its just speculation, I think an average size house might cost $20,000 or so if the federal government would stop propping up prices).

On the issue of health care, Obama is also against the interests of young Americans. While many young Americans choose not to purchase health insurance because it is usually not in our best interests (young adults tend to be healthy, so paying a fortune to an insurance company for health insurance we won’t use is not a smart financial decision), Obama favors the idea of Universal Healthcare, which means that everybody would be required to have health insurance.

Obama has also proposed that most bigoted of all the ageist policies governments have ever thought of, National Service. Although airheads in Hollywood have been promoting this concept and trying to convince people to lobby the Obama administration to implement it, it remains largely unknown. National Service is politician speak for a forced labor program for younger Americans (Obama proposes to target middle schools, high schools, and colleges; Rahm Emanuel, the Chief of Staff, has proposed forcing everybody between 18 and 25 to spend 3 months working for the government; Congressman Charlie Rangel proposes drafting everybody between 18 and 42 into the Army).

Obama is also a staunch advocate of Social Security, that wealth transfer program that forces the young to subsidize the old. He strongly opposes any plan to make Social Security voluntary. As everybody knows, Social Security is going to be extinct soon and nobody under 40 is ever going to see a penny of Social Security “benefits.”

Obama also proposes to escalate the War in Afghanistan, a war which even General Petraeus says is unwinnable. It is likely that Obama also plans on invading Iran and on waging a politically correct “humanitarian” intervention in the Civil War in the Sudan. This is a reckless foreign policy that is reckless that it makes the foreign policy of George W. Bush look like the responsible non-interventionist foreign policy of George Washington. With our economy crumbling, Obama promises to continue to waste money overseas destroying other countries and creating more terrorists instead of returning it to the productive (private) sector here at home.

Obama promises to continue the Federal Reserve and to allow it to destroy the value of the dollar. Instead of returning to sound money and steady permanent growth, Obama supports Helicopter Ben Bernanke’s plan to print endless streams of worthless fiat money in the hopes of counterfeiting our way to prosperity.

In contrast to Obama, Congressman Ron Paul, the libertarian Republican from Texas, would stop the government from interfering with the free market (interference that will turn this recession into a Greater Depression if not stopped), strongly opposes the Draft in all of its forms, wants to end the American Empire by bringing all the troops home immediately, favors making Social Security voluntary, favors the abolition of the Federal Reserve, and favors abolishing the IRS and replacing it with nothing. These policies would far better protect the interests of young Americans than those of Barack Obama, the president backed by the corrupt Establishment who laughably tries to portray himself as a bringer of change instead of a proponent of 4 more years of the failed Bush policies of Interventionism. Why not abandon Obama’s phony status quo policies and support the Ron Paul Revolution and real change? Big government, perpetual war, and unsound money have failed miserably again, and again, and again, Isn’t it time for a change to limited government, peace, and sound money?
