...If you really want the debt to be reigned in, you will vote for these new taxes. You will be deemed hypocrites for giving me such a hard time if you do not vote and rally behind my new tax policies."
Does that sum it up about right?
From E-ville
well yeah more taxes are totaly logical... how else do we pay that debt off, unless Obama is in with the "conspiracy" crowd and going to tell the fed reserve to F off.. and i highly doubt that.
His accomplishments far outweigh his failures at only 18 months in.
Iraqi officials see U.S. as neglecting the country
Some U.S. military officers and Western analysts have also criticized what they see as a failure to think beyond the planned drawdown to 50,000 noncombat troops by the end of August. The lack of focus may leave an opening for Iraq's neighbor and the United States' rival — Iran.

My sole criticism of this administration is the initial response to Gulf Oil Crisis but I am beginning to overcome that.
Vice President Joe Biden gave a stark assessment of the economy today, telling an audience of supporters, "there's no possibility to restore 8 million jobs lost in the Great Recession."
everytime i hear someone say we spend too much on defense it makes me wanna bang against the wall to drown OUT the shear stupidity of the comment. THE ONLY reason you can sit there and trash talk watch your porn play your video games and download illegal songs.......... IS BECAUSE OF THE US MILITARY IE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT.

President Obama on controlling the debt: "Somehow people say, why are you doing that, I'm not sure that's good politics. I'm doing it because I said I was going to do it and I think it's the right thing to do. People should learn that lesson about me because next year when I start presenting some very difficult choices to the country, I hope some of these folks who are hollering about deficits and debt step-up because I'm calling their bluff. We'll see how much of that, how much of the political arguments that they're making right now are real and how much of it was just politics."

What do you think of this? More taxes coming our way? Is this the heralding of a preplanned double dip recession for next year?
This came out during the G20 summit where they also discussed no nation having any advantage over another for economic recovery. Scary times ahead.
