Smart Politics

What is your opinion about the new rule of Obama’s regarding this outsourcing tax? Can we expect a tax cut for the people who give their jobs for outsourcing?

Oh yeah, it makes so much sense to pile another trillion on the national debt so we can all get a one shot $500 gift. Jeesh, are you out of your mind?

Is there no limit?

To how much taxes can be cut?

As far back as I can remember--all the way to FDR--candidates for all offices have promised to cut taxes.

How can there be any more taxes left to cut?

Perhaps politicians have a different interpretation of what a cut is than the rest of us do?

Barack Obama

Barack Will be the best president the us has ever seen!!!

GOOD POLICY?

Print up trillions of dollars,devalue our currency, propel inflation, keep folks spending and give 'em a tax break.

Sounds like a formula for disaster to me - Sounds like something Bush and his economic team might have cooked up.
