    Wow, i am guessing that you do not have a single friend that has served or is serving overseas.

    Spend money to stimulate the economy??????? HAHAHAHAH We need to CUT TAXES to stimulate the economy, not tax people more so that the government can issue "stimulus" checks to all the people making below 75k a year who will just pay down debt with it.

    Lower capital gain taxes and all taxes on the job providers (RICH) and we would see the economy grow!

    I keep hearing liberals talk about voting for obama to get rid of bush, but you do know that Bush isnt running again dont you? McCain is light years away from Bush on most issues, so that comparison is utterly baseless, just like the Obama is a muslim terrorist claims are baseless.

    there was a guy on fox news yesterday, the bank he used shut down and there were ppl lined up out the door wanting there money, he had a little over 600k in the bank, they gave him 100k as that is all FDIC insures and then gave him 50 cents on the dollar after that, so he put in 600k and left with 350k when they closed...quarter of a million dollars, just like flushing it down the commode of life.

    So whos fault is that? With that much money you would think that he is smart enough to know that the government will only insure $100,000 per account. $600,000 could have earned MUCH more interest in an IRA, etc...

    ^^ Agreed. The $100,000 limit is stated on every single "FDIC Insured" sign in every bank. It's not a secret.

    There are countless funds and accounts he could have put that money in where it would have been very safe and make him a good bit of extra money.

    So you dont think National Security goes hand in hand with Economic Stability? Why are we where we are today?

    Liberal wont let us drill our own land for oil because we might disrupt the spotted owl. So oil prices skyrocket because the demand is high, supply is low.

    Housing market collapsed because of crooked lenders, has nothing to do with Bush.

    Stocks are down because of housing market and oil prices. No secret there. People are scared of the future

    War is costing us money, but it had to be done. We are better off 10 years from now with a democratic IRAQ than a dictatorship.

    We enjoyed enourmous properity under clinton (none of it was his doing just serving) so it makes sense we have some tough patches to go through.

    Our dependence on oil and not drilling is costing us NOW.

    OBAMA will be WORSE than Bush, mark my words. His policys are just what the American public want to hear, but there is no substance to them.

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Mr. KiDD again.

    In fact I do. And yes...it takes money to make money punk. Government grants for education, businesses, energy rebates, public transport, tax cuts....just to name a fewofthe thing the government could do to stimulate the economy!

    you rather have the man that said to the public he knows nothing about economics and depends on his advisors? the same advisors that calls the country a "nation of whiners".

    I would rather have a president that knows he doesnt have the knowlege and listens to his advisors than one that tinks he has a clue but doesnt. Also that quote from McCain is from 2005 and I think it shows intelligence rather than ignorance. He knows what he doesnt know.

    We are a nation of whiners. We are also a lazy nation that is doing its best to live off the govt tit instead of making sacrifices and being self reliant.

    This is what I don't understand, the same people who want tax cuts want to stay in Iraq spending $9 billion a month, where the hell do you think that money comes from?

    As it is now we are running at a federal deficit, lowering taxes widens that deficit. Tax revenues have to come from somewhere if spending is not being cut.

    When your advisors are lobbyists you have to wonder whose interest do they have at heart.. the people or their own.

    John Green, the senator's chief liaison to Congress, and Wayne Berman, his national finance co-chairman, billed more than $720,000 in lobbying fees from 2005 through last year to Ameriquest Mortgage through their lobbying firm, disclosure forms reviewed by the Daily News show.
    Ask anyone in the know about Ameriquest Mortgage and you would think twice about our president confiding in them for the good of the country. I think I would rather have McCain's lack of knowledge rather than one of his advisors who posses the WRONG knowledge. Or better yet just go with Obama.

    I'm saying I agree with his advisors, just the fact that McCain is smart enough to know what he doesnt know.

    And if they only billed $720k since 2005 they are not the big time lobbiests. The upper echelon of lobbiests will bill that much in the first 3 months of one year.
