I really don't expect the tax cuts will matter that much to me, just like the Bush tax cuts. It's not a make or break deal. I favor putting more of the burden of paying taxes on the wealthy since they enjoy most of the benefits. The tax system is so skewed towards the rich that in the last thirty years we've seen the wealth of our nation being concentrated on the top five per cent of our citizens - the rich and powerful, who control three quarters of America's wealth.

Over the years there have been more than a few tax cuts and packages aimed in doing what Prez O's is. The problem is that it takes time to implement them. The economy moves at such a speed that by the time these things are implemented they are often no longer needed. That's the basic argument I might have with Prez O's stimulus pagkage--that it doesn't do what it's purportedly aimed at, viz. getting money into the economy quickly. Some of the stuff it included was nice and some badly needed ; but quick?--not.

As part of MO's share of the stimulus package, the new highway that comes to within 2 miles of my door will be extended to about a mile past. I love the road. It's been long needed; it saves me and my neighbors lots of driving time; and the areas along and near it are suitable for many kinds of businesses. But it won't be completed until late 2010. I guess the guys who were working on the previous segments will keep working on this; but it doesn't look to me like there'll be any new jobs. If one assumes that they would have had nothing to do otherwise and would have been unemployed, I guess you could call it job preservation. Personally, I'm skeptical of that.

TO: SUSIEHILL. YOU CANT FIX THE PROBLEM BY CREATING ANOTHER PROBLEM WHICH IS A BIG DEBT. AND HOW WILL THAT DEBT BE PAID BACK?? REMEMBER THE INTEREST ON THAT DEBT IS SUPER HIGH ALSO. SO WHAT WILL END UP HAPPENING IS OSBAMA WILL FOLD THE U.S.A. AND WILL BE THE SLAVES OF CHINA AND IF HE DID NOTHING WE CAN GET OUT OF IT ON OUR OWN WITH OUT THEM PUMPING MONEY INTO DEAD COMPANIES THAT DOESNT TRICKLE DOWN TO THE LITTLE GUYS (US) WHO ACTUALLY GO OUT AND SPEND. HE HASNT DONE CRAP OF WHAT HE CAMPAINED ON. THE DUDE WAS ONLY A SENATOR HE DIDT RUN NOTHING OR OVER SEE ANYTHING UNLIKE A MAYOR OR GOVENOR WHO ACTUALLY HAS TO MAKE THE CITY/STATE RUN CORRECTLY. A SENATOR ONLY VOTES YES OR NO AND HELPS COME UP WITH NEW LAWS AND RULES AND POLICIES AND WAYS TO MAKE MORE MONEY FOR THERE INTEREST FOR THE STATE AND THER OWN POCKET.
