He is running for President of the United States last time I checked… and, while I was checking, I found out that the President has no power to spend any US money.

It turns out that Congress has that power! The most the President does is draft economic plans and submit them to Congress… they are the ones who ultimately approve, amend, append, whatever a particular bill. To top that off… the President usually has staff members that prepares such things.

Executives have secretaries, McDonald’s managers have employees and janitors have mops. Basically, most of the time, someone other than the person in charge is doing the actual work. The leader’s job is too ensure that you have picked the right people and that they are working as they should.

Bottom line though, Congress has the responsibility for the US economy. The President is the Commander in Chief

So, do his finances scare me with him being a potential president? Nope.

I love how when you make sense and then back it up with facts – the Cons tell you to stop. “Yeah, well, that pretty boy Edwards cheated on his wife! And…it doesn’t count that McCain did!”

No…just stop. Balancing a budget for a federal government is a huge difference from balancing your check book
