The tax increases will effect everyone because businesses will not hire and people will have less money to spend. The stimulas was a bust, we still do not know where all the moeny went (overseas) Let's stop spending and focas on the people. The govt is not the answer, we need the confidence to invest again and get the country working again. Go back to 2009 budget and live with it. We cannot spend our way out of this mess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24135583.post-33196660436206682762010-11-27T11:59:10.204-05:002010-11-27T11:59:10.204-05:00Hey Mike.

The peoples biggest mistake was not getting Bush Jr. impeached. President Obama's biggest mistake was in "not" dealing straight up and FAST with Bush Jr. and Cheney's alleged [and sometimes fairly obvious crimes...] And today's Democrats? They "will" stand strong - or else this country will go completely [in whatever way it presents itself...] "rougue". I don't think the American people can take too much more - and I don't think they should. But - that is just my opinion.

If we are to survive what may be the curve toward Land Barron/Serfdom in our own country, we have to step up and make our government protect those who would support what this country represents.<br />Having the party thats supposed to represent the working class capitulate at the rate they are is embarrassing and almost treasonous. <br />Addressing the tax issue right now is mandatory. I just dont think the wimpy Democrats have it in them to challenge the minority on anything. 59-41 is just too scary for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24135583.post-33334625576781895322010-11-26T20:27:38.434-05:002010-11-26T20:27:38.434-05:00It may be off topic, but you should highlight the ...It may be off topic, but you should highlight the latest CBO findings on the "Stimulus"<br /><br />Although it’s not exactly a news flash since many economists have been saying this for months, but a new Congressional Budget Office report gives a new basis of support for stimulus supporters. <br /><br />We are heading for an estimated $15 Trillion GDP!
