Sorry to cut off the rest of your post but it is based on a flawed premise. The Administration does not decide any of this. They can propose things but it is Congress that provides bailouts (or not). Congress is controlled by the Democrats and has been for the last 2 years. |
This is true. Heck Pelosi was not taking any heat as the Democratically controlled Congress let this amount to a hill of trouble. Furthermore, her own daughter would not answer yes or no when question if Palin winning the VP slot would help women.
Anyway, the 95% of the middle class tax cuts sounds great on the surface. Tax those that make over $250,000.00 per year. This figures to about 80 trillion dollars. Obamas plans need about 150 trillion. Were does he propose to make up the difference?
