Clueless about the economy
| Tue, 09-16-2008 - 7:37am |
Does John McCain really believe that our economy is fundamentally sound? Is this guy out of his freakin’ mind? He is either too old or too stupid to be president. Umployment is down. Wages are down. The price of everything is up. The deficit is up. The national debt is up. Yeah, sounds like the economy is in great shape, John. Perhaps it is time for another tax break for those who make over $250,000 a year. We could use some of that Reagan trickledown voodoo economics about now.
Perhaps when McCain is elected, his new treasury secretary Phil Gramm will straighten all of us whiners out?
The guys seem to be clueless about the economy.

~Are you suggesting the McCain has redefined the "fundamentals of the economy" to be the workers?
"Where does any of the money the government spends come from? Where's Barry going to get nearly a TRILLION extra dollars for his socialist programs? Where are the BILLIONS coming from to bail out these failing companies lately? Paying back long term loans should be a piece of cake...and I fully expect that Iraq will be shelling out a significant portion when it's up and running."
Where is the evidence that Iraq is ever going to shell out money? I didn't ask about Obama I wanted to know where McCain was going to get the money since you seem to think you know. You haven't actually answered my question. Where is the money going to come from exactly.
"McCain, on the other hand is more about "teaching a man to fish"...by lowering taxes, people and companies have more money. More money means growing companies...growing companies mean more taxes and more employees...more employees mean more people paying sales and income tax. Give people more money and let the market work. Play "Robin Hood" and you're milking a dried up cow."
I wonder if teaching a man to fish includes an 84 billion dollar loan to the 'common man' who is struggling now like it does to AIG? It seems many of the companies that should be growing and paying taxes are being bailed out right now - so again where exactly is the money to come from? Isn't bailing out companies like AIG sort of like playing Robin Hood - corporate welfare?
Take a look at Obama's economic advisors:
