- "Obama''s aides have said the early-January recovery plan will not include a tax increase for those earning $250,000 or more annually, something the president-elect has vowed to put in place to, in his words Monday, "restore some balance to our tax code." But economists caution that the measure, which will add substantially to the already soaring deficit, will have to contain some significant trade-offs to avoid making things worse."
Another promise unpromised. And I am just sure his economic advisors didn''t have a clue during the campaign. Change? The change is only a different face. - Reply to this comment
- What would McCain do to handle the economic downturn? He''ll probably let the invisible hand of the "free market" work its magic and take care of everything.

Don''t worry,
we conservatives will give Obama the same "respect"
that liberals gave George Bush.
LOL
2)
For the last eight years, all I heard from liberals who
relentlessly criticized Bush, was that "DISSENT IS PATRIOTIC"
Okay
So I will be patriotic for the next four years

- What kind of change is that? Unfortunately we will have to wait two years before we can send a message to Wahsington. Hope that our great country will still be existing. The way it looks, I''''m not so sure it will ;-(

- Oh, brother...man...for a bunch of people who STILL trust "their" President even after all of the lies he and his Administration have been caught in, you righties surely do have a lack of trust for somebody who has not even spent one day as President yet.

- Obama can say this is benefitting the Middle Class all he wants, but the Middle Class is not the ones on welfare and food stamps. It is the poor!! I guess Obama will finally be handing out the money to all those who voted for him. He has already made sure that the CEOs who backed him will get their handouts when he voted and verbally supported the $700 billion bail-out. And it is and will come out YOUR pay-check!
Also, part of the Bush tax cuts Obama wants to do away with was the doubling of the dependent deductible (from $500 to $1000) and eliminating the marriage penalty. The Middle Class benefitted from those tax cuts and Obama, champion of the Middle Class, wants to do away with them.
Please stop saying these economics plans are benefitting the Middle Class. It is only increasing our tax burden and that for generations to come.
Our nation as we know it is ending and all you petty, bigoted people can do is gripe about President Bush, Republicans, and rich people. Remember it is those rich people who will create jobs for the average American, not the poor.
BTW, BOTH PARTIES have turned us into a welfare nation and have bankrupted us!! It is about time the citizens take this nation back from both parties. - Reply to this comment

- At least he''s trying to come up with a solution. Where''s the goofball Bush? The Republicans and Paulson once again smack America across the face and refuse to divulge where a lot of the 700 billion is going. Bush and his minions caused this mess, and now it will be up to the Democrats to get us in the black, once again.

- Have we really changed that much as a society since the 1920s?
We still have elements in our society that are anti-immigrant. Instead of being directed against Catholics like the Italians it is now directed against Mexicans crossing our border, building walls, rounding them up and deporting them. We still have a dislike for people that are "different" from us that speak a foreign language.
America never learned its lessons from prohibition. Instead of having alcohol prohibition we have drug prohibition. Half of all our people in prison today are there because of drugs. We have drug gangs from Mexico having a war on our border. Will we as a society ever have the wisdom to decriminalize drugs?
The economic collapse in 1929 was due to excessive greed in Wall Street. What happened this October is almost a repeat of what happened in 1929. Our government failed to put adequate controls to prevent
wild speculation and corruption in our financial markets. - Reply to this comment
- The Dow down over 30 points, the "Obama''s firesale" continuing today, the word on the street is "sell-baby-sell" before Obama raises the Capital Gains Taxes on Profit from the present 15% to 28%! Get yours now before it is all gone!

- FYI libs.........the Democrats OWN this economy.
They took over our 110th Do Nothing Democrat Congress nearly two year ago and have run our economy into the ground becasue they were too busy conducting daily political lynchings and endless votes on US troop withdraws from Iraq.
Congresses run the economy
Presidents run the wars.
And because our new breed of Liberal Facists that generate our news for us won''t tell you that............
......then I will.

- Obama is being held has the "Universal President".
I think it''s hilarious but I do have confidence that Obama can fix the problem with this economy.
The Bush/Hannity/Limbaugh-Depression has to be ended as soon as possible.
The best thing Bush can do is step down early and let Obama take over from here. - Reply to this comment
