CBS Evening News: How The Candidates Propose To Fix The Ailing Program

Olivia, well it is funny but not relevant anecdote. This is for the following reason - we pay taxes as part of our due as members of a decent law abiding democracy. Note that the tax rate under Obama will actually be less than under the Clinton presidency for those betweem the 250K to 400K tax bracket.
So have you used the tax calculator readily available online to verify this fact?
Plus is or is not the recent bailout of Wall Street -also agreed to by McCain - another example of spreading the wealth around?

I am looking forward to Obama winning next week. The policies of greed, fear, division and deceit are coming to an end. The GOP took the policies of Reaganism from the late 80''s and subverted them towards nazism over the last 8 years. If it was not for the two terms of Clinton administration in the 90''s with the supreme court nuetral and a then record surplus, the USA would already be the fifth reich. I expect Obama to govern as a moderate like clinton - basically take a middle of the road profile to ensure that he gets the job of reforming done with the minimum of drama.

At flvixen, Yes BO''s health care reforms are aimed at the middle class. The health care plan revison by BO is well thought out and should adress alot of the problems. Particularly I like the pharmaceutical pricing reductions and his attitude that the health care industry needs to be cleaned up. I suspect why the GOP are so threatened and angry with BO is that he bypasses their traditional taken-for-granted base on main street and they despise him because of it.

At Afactjack, you need to change your name to nofactsjack - The night of the longknives is when the Hitler lead SS and the Gestapo purged the Rohm lead SA in July 1923. Very few Jews where involved in the process on either side.
So are you capapble of rationally putting forward a GOP viewpoint or - yawn - just another GOP ****?

[flvixen]

I don''t think anyone really understands the health care that either one of them is talking about but from what i gather McCain is putting a 5,000 dollar limit on health care and taxing it. Not good for the Medical field at all cause i think that would put more ppl in debt than they already are. Some ppl are sicker than others. Now Obama is trying to help everyone and giving small businesses help so they can afford to get the coverage for their workers. Anyone that really complains when he specifically said that they would not have to pay for it with all their own money just don''t want to have give more money than they have to. Its all about greed. How much money u can keep in ur pocket. GET READY TO JUMP FOR JOY FOR UR NEW PREZ BARACK OBAMA

NEEDERBAUR, are you still cut and pasting the same old drivel? - you seriously need to go to school or get a job man.

At JohnEdwards6, McCain and the GOP are the ones that brain dead to the problems confronting the middle class. These simpletons with their discredited rich folks first creed need to pay the price for politcal failure and be voted out.

[johnedwards6]

I don''t understand how anyone can be undecided. You have a replublican vs. the most liberal egotistic unexperienced candidate in US history. They are not similar. How can anyone not have made up their minds yet. Are these people brain dead. I suppose these are the kind of people that will watch 1 debate after having paid no attention to politics and make their decision based on that. Oh well......

[gippybear]

I love the quotes about the Constitution being "Fundamentlly Flawed"!

Question: When being swarn in as Prez., which part of the Constitution will he NOT be able to uphold?

Idiot! LOL

[gippybear]

Now you''ll get a tax cut if you make less than 150,000 dollars a year!

What happened to $250,000?

LOL

What a DOLT

[gippybear]

Senator Stinky is Swift Boating HIMSELF!

LOL

isn''t medicare and medicaid programs part of the ''socialism'' that mccain and palin now reject? we need obama to protect our senior years.

Ahhh... I love the smell of hyperbole in the morning- it smells like...
Um..

It just smells.

I love how uneducated, mis informed, dogmatic party types just go apetastic at the end of an election cycle that might be a pretty good mandate for a large change in the way our government does business.

It is enjoyable and entertaining.

I love this country so much! At least we don''t pick up guns to settle differences. And the resultant pandering and hyperbole is entertaining. We indeed all live in the best of the best countries, with the biggest of the biggest set of idiots.

There is huge fraud in the Medicare programs. Doctors, clinics, DME (medical equipment) and pharmacies scam the system and steal billions. Government oversight is a joke and very few get caught. The bigger it gets the more fraud will grow prosper. Obama''s ideas will just make it worse. The whole system needs reform and tough oversight... and the crooks need to be jailed for a long long time.

WHITE PICKET FENCES: It%u2019s noted that Sen. Obama plans to utilize the 700 billion dollar bailout to convert suburban homes recently acquired by the government (due to failed mortgages) to Section 8 low-income houses for inner-city families. Despite stereotypical fears of crime, school deterioration, and plummeting property values, arguably a low-income relocation program to suburbia enhances social equity for poor inner-city families, integrates the suburbs, and affirmatively spreads the wealth.
