The Budget and our economy. The 2009 Budget approved is going to be 3.1 trillion dollars, with a deficit of 400 billion dollars; meaning we really only have money for a 2.7 trillion dollar budget. But the Iraq war isn't included in the budget.
...
Now on to John McCains budget. He wants to cut taxes, over the next 9 years, 4.2 trillion dollars. That gives us $466,666,666,667 billion dollars a year on average. Not including his plan to get rid of the AMT(Alternative Minimum Tax), subtracting another $47,777,777,778 gives us a grand total of $514,444,444,445.

I decided to add something positive to the election board, since I had spoken out aganist it. I guess it's probably to little too late but maybe it'll bring up a lively discussion. This is but a small portion, the link to the full blog/article/analysis I wrote is at the bottom. And yes I did my research, the math and have listed my sources.

Ok. But do you have a point?
