His plans will only makes things worse. Businesses need money to survive and he wants to take money away from them.

He will cause massive layoffs and hours will be cut. Along with many businesses who are on the brink will then collapse under his plans.

His plans are worse then many think.

His dirty little fingers are all over the mortgage problems today, his lawsuit against banks to force bad loans to people with terrible credit just proves it.

And how do you think we are going to pay for the 700billion bailout?
Is the money just going to fly out of the sky?
What do you think has to happen to taxes if EITHER party wins???
Or are we just going to use the same credit card that Ronald Reagan used?

The surplus that clinton got us is gone, wipe out under bush, and Bush brings us deficit, and more deficit, and if McBush is president, you can expect a whole lot more wars to propel the deficit into the stratosphere.

You just don't know what panic is. THIS is panic...

Hence all the baseless mud-slinging.

Can't wait for the debate tonight.
Wonder if McCain can look Obama in the eyes...
You call Palin unintelligent and then attempt to act above the matter by calling out "baseless mud-slinging" by the other side. That is priceless.

My question is why did it take until now to get this information out to the public. Those of us that research for ourselves knew most of it, but he genernal public does not do their homework and only watch the Obama loving media, so they got nothing on this and still aren't getting much. The New York Times just now gets around to reporting on it? This election has been a farce from day one. Something very unsettling about this push to get Obama elected regardless.

No, I meant RR's credit card.
Yes, I know both sides voted for the bailout (a necessary evil). I was responding to the poster who claimed that Obama's economic plan would fail.
