"A study coming out Tuesday from scholars at Columbia, Harvard, Purdue and Michigan projects that 20 million Americans who have employment-based health insurance would lose it under the McCain plan."

McCain is swimming in the opposite direction. Electing him would be a mistake.

((Let us hope the public is wising up to BO.))

Oh yes, the wise are seeing that Barack has the best plan to turn our economy around and that McCain and Sarah are inept at dealing with it. Hope is wonderful, and I hope that more people see those ads that show that McCain and his cronies and his twin Bush43 and their "small gov't" and deregulation are responsible for these drops in economic growth.

About all those loans ... does anyone besides me think the people who irresponsibly wanted more than they could reasonably afford bear some responsibility for their actions?

I agree...I think we should let the chips fall where they may. It's culling the herd.

(((Increasing taxes on the wealthy, increasing corporation taxes, and increasing capital gains taxes will NEVER grow an economy or produce jobs.))))

Jobs are produced by ....creating them. Barack is expanding the energy segment as well as education. New jobs will be there. The tax increases and the money NOT being spent on Iraq will be there to pay for them. What is John McCain's plan? lol. It's Barack's. lol.

((Neither McCain's nor Obama's economic plan account for any of this bail out money.))

That's ole Bush43 at work. Of course that money isn't accounted for...Bush43 is doing what people that are foreclosed on do...tear the s**t up before they are forced to get out. lol. He's petty that way. He's irresponsibly moving our troops and spending money that he shouldn't. What a tool.

((I could say the exact same thing about Obama.)))

Actually you can't, because Barack is well versed on every subject that she stumbled all over. His understanding of the issues puts him way over Sarah's understanding of the most basic...Freddie Mack and Fannie Mae were not subsidized by the people until Bush43 made it happen. Barack admits when he's wrong and Sarah doesn't. Humility and modesty are signs of maturity. And more importantly, Joe Biden is prepared and knowledgeable. Sarah will have her hands full for sure.

I have yet to hear BO admit his error on the surge.

If Joe Biden is so prepared and knowledgeable why isn't he the nominee?

Indeed. Bush43 didn't seem to care when he threw money at that irresponsible group of people. GOP and their sick economic plans.lol.

Unless President Bush put guns to peoples heads and forced them into homes they couldn't afford this really doesn't answer my question.
