That would be great if it is how it works...The Republicans you are supporting are not fiscally responsible. in a time of war spending money on tax cuts plus continuing our spending levels and increasing them as Republicans have done for 6 years will do nothing but increase the debt. This is not the proper procedure. We have to maintain taxes where they are (tax cuts barely impact the middle class and lower class but strongly support the rich as they are percentage based...) and reduce spending and withdraw from our war. Continuing like this will just increase debt and will not stimulate the economy as has been shown. Bush's tax cuts now have us enter into a recession as we move on...how are they working?

 

As for pulling out of our debt I see countries like Saudi Arabia pulling out and it also lowers our negotiating power if we are reliant on them...


 


This is a long misproven arguement. The HMOs are put out of power saving the average american family of 3-4 up to $10,000. The government increases a tax to all people averaging approximately $5000 with less at the bottom and more at the top. The significantly lower overhead allows people to spend less and get the same or better care. Now we spend 40% more money per capita on health care than any other industrialized country in the world and yet our care fails down near the bottom of highly developed countries. In addition the CBO (Congressional Budget Office) claims that UHC would save between 100-200 billion dollars A YEAR even with covering the uninsured and increasing benefits. Why is it that we can't implement a plan that is such as success in France (#1 in the world), Canada, Japan, Britain and others. 



 


hey if what you say works I'd be happily surprised. I'll point to past instances that violence has calmed down again but I'm not going in depth. We'll see what happens in December...

 



 


Not at all. There are millions of Americans who work 40, 50 or 60 hours a week at minimum wage jobs but are unable to do better because they lack the skills or the economic climate is inhibating them from finding a better job. So don't tell me that they have a choice...some may but others don't...





The income derived from this will be minimal and government incentives to encourage drilling will eliminate all benefits to our government and just bring more to oil executives. more jobs sounds great but this will put very few new jobs onto the market...Drilling for more oil is doing nothing and prolonging research will do nothing more. Let's begin to implement alternatives that will create MORE jobs and actually REDUCE our reliance on oil instead of maintaining it.
