Selecting a president....

As the date for voting for the US president draws near, it is imperative that we select someone whose integrity is above reproach and who presents the future with hope.

The question is why would anyone vote for a candidate who:

•    has changed his position on all crucial issues multiple times
•    proposed an incoherent economic plan for recovery whose five basic features are:   

1. It would boost unemployment because it slashes public spending next year and the year after, when the economy is still likely to need a boost, not a fiscal drag. It would be the same austerity trap now throwing Europe into recession. According to theEconomic Policy Institute, Ryan’s plan would mean 1.3 million fewer jobs next year than otherwise, and 2.8 million fewer the year after; the plan would take from lower-income Americans and give to the rich – who already have the biggest share of America’s total income and wealth in almost a century. 
2. it would raise taxes on families earning between 30 and 40 thousand dollars by almost $500 a year, and slash programs like Medicare, food stamps, and children’s health What would Ryan do with these savings? Reduce taxes on millionaires by an average of over $500,000 a year; 
3. it would turn Medicare into vouchers that won’t keep up with the rising costs of health care – thereby shifting the burden onto seniors. By contrast,Obama’s Affordable Care Act saves money on Medicare by reducing payments to medical providers like hospitals and drug companies; 
4. adding money to defense while cutting spending on education, infrastructure, and basic research and development. America already spends more on defense than the next five biggest military spenders put together. Our future productivity depends on the public investments Romey/Ryan plan wants to cut; 
5. the Romney/ Ryan’s budget doesn’t even reduce the federal budget deficit – not for decades. Remember: He’s adding to military spending, giving huge additional tax cuts to the very rich, and stifling economic growth by cutting spending too early. The Center for Budget and Policy Priorities estimates Ryan’s Roadmap would push public debt to over 175 percent of GDP by 2050.

•  cannot make up his mind on abortion rights of women and wants of overturn Roe vs Wade
•  is clueless about foreign policy and is willing to start a war with Iran at the behest of Israel and enter into war in Syria, and made a fool of himself in UK where he was called Mitt the Twit
•  has not declared his taxes unlike his father but hides his wealth in tax havens of Cayman Islands etc rather than keeping them in US banks where it could help rebuild infrastructure
•  has never really run a business enterprise other than a consultancy group like Bain
• wants get rid of Obamacare and make a voucher program of Medicare,
• has proven to be a serial liar on major issues, has demonstrated a less than sterling or likeable character- as shown  in his childhood bullying, tying the family dog to the car, smuggling popcorn into theaters against policy,etc and has a family whose members never served in the army despite being eligible, and 

• to me at least seems to have no moral discernible core or convictions
