oil prices

i want to be  president because i understand the relationship of our huge national debt, our increasingly weak dollar and the oil prices. this article touches on what is going on. i think as president there is an obligation to keep our country out of this kind of debt unless absolutely necessary. we are completely vulnerable now and as we can all feel, that is doing no one any good but the people we owe huge amounts of money to, and the companies who are coming in from overseas and gobbling up our companies. by accruing this debt we have given up so much power and now by having weak currency we are further jeopardizing our economy. we need a solution to the debt, and we need a solution to the oil dependency and we need them now, not in 2020! 

by the way, an aside, how can a person honestly run for president and talk about budgeting and about paying off the debt etc. when they can't even manage the money for their own campaign and knowingly get themselves into debt and then demand to be bailed out. that is not setting a very presidential example is it? that is doing exactly what people have done with credit card debt and with some of the mortgages that are now in crisis.
