Although I had never read his economic plan, I decided to take a look at it today and I do not think it is all that bad. I do not believe in a lot of the Democratic ideas: high taxes, social programs, nanny state etc but in my opinion, his economic plan is much better than Mc Cain's. I am not voting or supporting either candidate but at least, some of Obama's ideas are clearly designed to help the middle class. I have not seen anything coming from Mc Cain that would benefit in any way the middle class. What is your opinion?

McCindy has an economic plan?

When do we get to hear it?

Or is his plan the $850 billion bail out that contains pork and beans for the people who created the mess?

You need taxes to pay the bills. You're 10 trillion dollars in debt. Duh.

I'm so grateful someone goes over there and actually looks.

We need to keep in mind that the future economic climate will impact a number of hoped-for programs that were designed during palmy days - they now wont get off the ground for years. I dont know how recently his site has been updated to remind readers of this, though he's mentioned it in several speeches.

It's encouraging to me that he's never veered from the plan to use a PAYGO system for all federal funding.

Whether the president is Obama or Mccain it's probably too late to change this part of the globalized marketplace. (Anyway, this was deliberate - the US was going to be the "service sector" part of the new economic world arrangement, remember?) There's no way to stop companies from moving to Mexico and India if they get a better value there. Obama plans to encourage companies to stay here with tax incentives and other breaks, but... I dont know.

Also the new hard times could be a kind of leverage to keep them here - if a company is in credit trouble maybe their loan contracts or whatever financial adjustments can require they stay in the US for X amount of time. Just a thought.

Deep, thoughtful, and damned near insightful, and about par for the discourse.

Now run along back to one of the Obama is a secret love child of Marie Laveau threads.

Who cares about "plans." Most of us could write one. You have to vote for someone you believe will actually ACCOMPLISH something positive.
