Wake me up when you've got some real news. - doctechnical, on 06/11/2008, -1/+1Obama wants to index the minumum wage to inflation. That in and of itself tells me his economic plans are insane.
The good news: You're now making $100 an hour. The bad news: a loaf of bread costs $50. - inactive, on 06/11/2008, -2/+2Just one of many lies from McCain the Manchurian candidate and his anti-American supporters.
- inactive, on 06/11/2008, -4/+4Hey Obamabots, a reduction in the proposed INCREASE in spending is not a cut.
- Lukeness, on 06/11/2008, -4/+2Most of the billions of dollars in foreign aid that people like to slam are in the form of military aid to Israel, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. Even if your $300 billion figure were correct a 13-year addition of $845 billion would be an approximate 20% increase. The greatest economic growth the world has ever seen was in the US from the end of WWII until the 1970s. The highest marginal US income taxes then? 90% in the 1950s under Republican Eisenhower, and 70% under Democratic President Kennedy. Marginal rates now... extremely low... economy? not so good.
- 140Suffolk, on 06/10/2008, -7/+5Please. Didn't Obama just ram through his Global Poverty Act (S. 2433), which according to some conservative sources, would commit all of us to a stealth United Nations-inspired global tax of $845 billion over a 13-year period -- that's on top of the $300 billion per year the United States already shells out in foreign aid. ?
Read that again. An extra $845 billion (over 13 yrs). Handed to the UN. Where do you girls think that money will come from? Tax the rich? Don't you know that things like this WRECK economies? Who do you think HIRES you? Poor guys?
Wasn't Obama a "community organizer" in Chicago? What do you think that means? It means getting do-nothing people together to demand stuff from the government. Stuff that YOU will be paying for.
