Blog Post #3- how are professional blogs different?

------This blog is about the Constitution Party, one of those little political parties that essentially no one cares about. It claims that their party is making a comeback on the big dogs of Republican McCain and Democrat Obama. Chuck Baldwin, Presidential Candidate, even calls McCain and Obama "die-hard socialists".
------This blog is different from other blogs because it provides legitimate information to back up their viewpoints. The site includes videos and other sites to people that support the Constitution Party, and is updated fairly frequently.
------Baldwin claims that taxpayers (our parents) are being charged too much money through taxes to fund the buyouts of the big businesses. He says AIG is an enormous global entity with $1.1 trillion in assets, explaining to us that it does not need our money. However, is it not the constant borrowing from other countries and spending money that we do not have the force that got the country into trillions of dollars of debt in the first place? I think it is. The only logical explanation for us (USA) to escape from debt is to pay it off now. How do we do that? Taxes. Where will they come from? the people that make up almost 300 million bodies. We can pay it off. It will not be easy. Mind you, we still have our own economy to fix. This will also come from our pockets. But if we all suffer, then what is the big deal? Prices will go down and the value of the dollar will go up. I think the best thing for us to do now is to do the exact opposite of what we have been doing. We need change. We also need to work together.
