Corporations also spend less because there is less capital in the market for them to spend. The only entity large enough to spend enough to stimulate the economy is the government, even if it requires deficit spending. 3) Any Presidential candidate that claims he or she can right the economy upon taking office is simply saying what is necessary to get elected. Only the consuming public can right the economy by continuing to purchase goods and services and paying their bills on time. The "refund" and "stimulus package" is like putting a band-aid on hemorrhaging carotid artery. 3) Given the current administration's relentless spending over the past 8 years, no President - Democrat, Republican, Green, Blue, or Libertarian - will be able to balance the budget even with 8 years in office.

The major sponsor of Youth Summit 2008 was Greeneville Federal Bank.

1984 Republican Party Platform
This year, the American people will choose between two diametrically opposed visions of what America should be. The Republican Party looks at our people and sees a new dawn of the American spirit. The Democratic Party looks at our nation and sees the twilight of the American soul. Republicans affirm that now, as throughout history, the spiritual and intellectual genius of the American people will create a better nation and maintain a just peace.

The Republican Party's vision of America's future, the heart of our 1984 Platform, begins with a basic premise: From freedom comes opportunity; from opportunity comes growth; from growth comes progress.
