WHY SHOULD ANYONE VOTE FOR ME?

Obviously an appropriate question. And, in a sense, it relates to another question I hear relatively often - 'What about the fact that you don't have any experience?' There's an answer to that. Since "experience" seems to be of so much value, let's take a look at where "experienced" people have gotten us so far.

We're sitting here with a budget deficit of $570 billion, and a national debt of greater than $4 trillion, to which there is no real remedy in sight. We've got a Social Security system that is, in fact, a Ponzi scheme, and which, somewhere along the way, will fail to pay benefits to the people who have paid into it. We've got a Medicare system that will soon be moving in that same direction. At the end of the day the only solution today's politicians could come up with is to raise taxes significantly. 

We've also got a public education system that just doesn't work, which produces mediocre results and has had a history of being addressed disproportionately by race and class. 

I don't see changes in the offing, so what good does all that "experience" do?

Apparently I understand something our politicians in Washington don't, which is that the root of all of our fiscal problems in this country is the addiction to spending other people's money. Let's put it this way - either they don't understand it, or they do, and they choose not to act in an appropriate manner, because taxpayer money feeds their addiction and makes government bigger and bigger and bigger. Experience doesn't necessarily breed common sense, and I like to think that's something I possess. The way I look at it, I'm way ahead of them.
