Your vote in presidential election will matter

To the editor:
While Greece is historically credited with inventing democracy, their politics have been dominated by the liberal-conservative New Democracy party and the social-democratic (Panhellenic Socialist Movement).
They have vastly overspent on their socialist system. Earners and producers have been taxed to death. Spending on people who contribute nothing but demands have bankrupted them. We are a long way down that same slippery slope. What's holding us up is the ability to print money. Greece cannot print euros. A vote for Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders will continue that slide toward the same Greece crisis.
