I have been following the elections fervently to watch, listen and evaluate the plans that each candidate - Obama vs. McCain have for our country. Like most fans of rap music that deals with real life social issues, I have been feeling my own share of depression over the economic issues that have developed.

The political man-made economic crisis was fueled by deregulation and sub-prime mortgage problems that developed from around mid-February and earlier. The $700B financial bailout of wall street banks as last-ditched effort to save the stock market and our entire capitalist system from collapse was a source of my growing aggravation.
