The government spending will prove that liberal "trickle down" won't work. The vast majority of the poor and tax consuming classes in America won't see a dime!!!!

Hey, the USA is broke but just like Cuba but cheer up -- we'll have "free health care".

Get used to playing dominoes for fun, because the old US of A is being destroyed.

Your bit confused. The GOP Ideology is to give tax breaks to corporations and for some bizzare fashion trickle down to the common folks. Your ideas have what put us in the mess we are in today.

No, not really. Obama just needs to over ride NUT TALK RADIO. A lot of folks are confused of what your GOP Leader Lintball has put there on the airwaves. Some low information type people who largely make up the GOP find hard to distinguish between fact and fiction. People with some intelligence know that Lintball is nothing more than entertainment and that it's it. LintaBALL is nothing more than a lier.

Wouldn't it make sense to cut spending rather than INCREASE spending?

Yet high taxes and loop holes cause those corps to do what? LEAVE America even Obama admitted that today.

If they didnt have to pay higher taxes do you think they would be leaving for countries that also have lower taxes?
